Abstract
In this study, ThF4, UF4 and UO2 heavy metals were used with ratios of 2% and 10% while Flibe (Li2BeF4) molten salt mixture and 100% Flibe were used as fluids in the liquid first wall, liquid second wall and shield zones of the APEX. The steel wall that is used as a structural material is 4 cm in thickness and calculations for each 0.5 cm thick zone of the steel wall were performed.
