The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is considered one of the most suitable technology for micro mobile reactors due to its low operating pressure (3~5 atmospheres), which reduces weight and volume compared to pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Unlike PWRs, MSRs use molten salt as both fuel and coolant, enabling compact and transportable designs. This study outlines the conceptual design of a micro mobile MSR and establishes safety criteria for transient states. It proposes strategies for managing the primary loop, intermediate heat transfer system, and air-cooled Balance of Plant (BOP) while addressing thermal and structural constraints, such as maximum temperatures and molten salt freezing points. Control approaches for reactor output and BOP systems are analyzed, highlighting fast response and adaptability to frequent power changes. The study also compares fixed-speed and variable-speed pump operations and provides a framework for operational modes, from high-temperature standby to transport-ready conditions. These findings offer a foundation for efficient, safe, and flexible MSR deployment.
