The CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) method coupled with uncertainty quantification and propagation (UQ & UP) calculations is a viable tool to predict thermodynamic properties in a multicomponent region at different temperatures and compositions with a confidence interval. These types of calculations provide upper and lower bounds of thermochemical property predictions when choosing the chemistry of candidate salt mixtures and therefore are vital for molten salt reactor engineering applications. The present work will study NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 salt mixture because of its high interest for molten salt applications with the aid of the ESPEI and PyCalphad open-source codes for UQ and UP calculations.
