Types of Liquid Metal Coolants

While several liquid metals have been studied, three have emerged as te primary candidates for fast breeder reactor applications: sodium, lead, and lead- bismuth eutectic (LBE). Each has distinguct physical and chemical persuarties that influence reactor decoran, safety, and economics.

Sodium

Sodium is mecht widely used d liquid metal coolant in operational FBR, including Francie 's Phénix and Superphénix, Russa' s BN- 600 andd BN- 800, and Japan 's Monju. Sodium has a melting point of 97.8 ° C and a boiling point of 883 ° C at Atmosferic pressure, provising a wide liquid range. Its thermal conductivity is trouly 80- 90 W / m · K - excellent compare tone water (0,6 W / m · K) eveveln salt.

However, sodium reacts energiously with water and air. Contact witt water produces hydrogen gas andsodium hydroxide, which cat lead to corrisive conditions andd potential explosions. Contact witt air leads to rapid oksydation, forming sodium oksyde aerozole that are chemically iricating. Therefore, sodiume reactors reactors reactors required inert cover gases (typically argon) and stringent eaid indelition systems.

Other Liquid Metal Coolants

Research has also explored sodium- potassium (NaK), mercury, gallium, and even liquid lithium.
