This disclosure describes systems and methods for synthesizing UClfrom UCl. These systems and methods may also be used to directly synthesize binary and ternary embodiments of uranium salts of chloride usable as nuclear fuel in certain molten salt reactor designs. The systems and methods described herein are capable of synthesizing any desired uranium chloride fuel salt that is a combination of UCl, UCland one or more non-fissile chloride compounds, such as NaCl. In particular, the systems and methods described herein are capable of synthesizing any UCl&#x2014;UCl&#x2014;NaCl or UCl&#x2014;NaCl fuel salt composition from UCl&#x2014;NaCl.
