Description

As highly promising coolant for new generation nuclear reactors, liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) has been extensively investigated in worldwide. However, there are very important problems to solve before adopting LBE as coolant of fast reactor. One is material corrosion and the other is Po occurrence. Also, the lack of experimental data for LBE thermal-hydraulic test is another problem. To solve these problems, thermal-hydraulic test and material test were conducted by using a twelve meter tall LBE integral test facility, named as HELIOS (Heavy Eutectic liquid metal Loop for Integral test of Operability and Safety of PEACER) which has been constructed in 2005 at the Seoul National University in the Republic of Korea
