In thorium molten salt reactors (TMSR), 233Pa is an important intermediate nuclide in the conversion chain of 232Th to 233U, its timely separation from the fuel salt is critically important for both the thorium-uranium (Th-U) fuel cycle and the neutron economy of the reactor. In this study, the evaporation behavior of 233Pa in the FLiBeZr molten salt was investigated during a vacuum distillation process. The separation characteristics between 233Pa and the major components of the fuel (salt and fission products) were evaluate
