The pipe holes in the vat and the lead and concrete shields were all above the level of the liquid sodium.
The reactor uses a plutonium-uranium mixed carbide fuel and liquid sodium as a coolant.
It was a pool-type liquid-metal fast breeder reactor cooled with liquid sodium.
Each cell contains a core of liquid sodium surrounded by a ceramic sleeve.
The reaction chambers generate power which is then transferred to beds of liquid sodium and silicon.
A number of breeder reactor designs use liquid sodium as coolant.
The reactor core sat in a lower portion of a vessel lined with stainless steel and filled with liquid sodium.
All of them use/used liquid sodium.
Tell me, what happens when liquid sodium comes in contact with water?
It can be made by reacting liquid sodium with phosphorus(V) chloride.
