A new ANSI/ANS standard for liquid metal fire protection published https://www.ans.org/news/article-7349/a-new-ansians-standard-for-liquid-metal-fire-protection-published/
Typical liquid metal reactor designs use liquid sodium as the coolant for both the primary and intermediate heat-transport systems. In addition, liquid sodium and NaK (a mixture of sodium and potassium that is liquid at room temperature) are often used in auxiliary heat-removal systems. Since these liquid metals can react readily with oxygen, water, and other compounds, special precautions must be taken in the design, construction, testing, and maintenance of the sodium/NaK systems to ensure that the potential for leakage is very small. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
