Application of lead-bismuth eutectics and lead melts as nuclear power plant coolant

Description

Liquid metals are the best to meet the requirement of inherently safety nuclear power plants among the coolants used. This is concerned with their thermodynamic properties. A great experience has been gained in lead-bismuth coolant power plant development and operation as applied to transportable power set-ups. Low chemical activity of this coolant with respect to air-water interaction is a determining factor for this coolant. This report discusses considerations in the choice of a lead-bismuth coolant
