In the development of molten salt reactor, it is a research subject to evaluate the thermophysical properties of molten salts as a fuel candidate, e.g. fluorides and chlorides. The purpose of this study is to develop a method for evaluating thermophysical properties such as viscosity on a nano/micro scale by an experimental technique: the laser-induced capillary wave method and by a simulation technique: the molecular dynamics method.
