Eddy-current probe-type sodium flowsensor for FFTF reactor fuel channel flow monitoring

Creators

Description

An eddy-current probe-type flowsensor is being developed for the FFTF to indicate sodium flow velocity at the outlet of a fuel channel in a temperature range of 300°F to 1200°F and a velocity range of 0-18 fps. Design considerations, out-of-reactor tests, both dry and in sodium, were performed and results are presented. Typical sensitivity of 0.6 mV rms/ft-sec has been obtained with excellent stability.
