Molten salt reactor (MSR) is one of expected safe nuclear reactors after Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. For MSR, two fluorite molten salts, those are FLiBe (LiF-BeF2) and FLiNaK (LiF-NaF-KF), are studied mainly. However, there are some disadvantage which are toxicity of Be and radioactive tritium generation from Li-6 isotope with neutron capture. In order to evaluate the advantage of FNaK (NaF-KF) for molten salt media, the evaporation behavior of FNaK was studied.
