Operating experience with sodium valves in the TNO-sodium test facilities

  • 1. Central Technical Inst., TNO, Apeldoorn, Netherlands

Description

The development of sodium components for the SNR-300 in Holland has reached the stage where full scale testing in sodium has almost been finished and construction is at its height. It is against this background that a review is given of the weaknesses in one area or the other of the commercially available types of sodium valves used in TNO's smaller test facilities at Apeldoorn and TNO's 50 MW sodium components test facility at Hengelo.
