  2. Liquid metal cooled reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_metal_cooled_reactor

    NaK was used as the coolant in the first breeder reactor prototype, the Experimental Breeder Reactor-1, in 1951. Sodium and NaK do, however, ignite spontaneously on contact with air and react violently with water, producing hydrogen gas. This was the case at the Monju Nuclear Power Plant in a 1995 accident and fire. Sodium is also the coolant ...

  3. Sodium–potassium alloy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium–potassium_alloy

    NaK containing 40% to 90% potassium by mass is liquid at room temperature.The eutectic mixture consists of 77% potassium and 23% sodium by mass (NaK-77), and it is a liquid from −12.6 to 785 °C (9.3 to 1,445.0 °F), and has a density of 0.866 g/cm 3 at 21 °C (70 °F) and 0.855 g/cm 3 at 100 °C (212 °F), making it less dense than water.

  4. Sodium-cooled fast reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-cooled_fast_reactor

    Schematic diagram showing the difference between the Pool and Loop designs of a liquid metal fast breeder reactor. The two main design approaches to sodium-cooled reactors are pool type and loop type. In the pool type, the primary coolant is contained in the main reactor vessel, which therefore includes the reactor core and a heat exchanger.

  6. Nuclear reactor coolant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_coolant

    A nuclear reactor coolant is a coolant in a nuclear reactor used to remove heat from the nuclear reactor core and transfer it to electrical generators and the environment. Frequently, a chain of two coolant loops are used because the primary coolant loop takes on short-term radioactivity from the reactor.

  7. Experimental Breeder Reactor II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Experimental_Breeder_Reactor_II

    The pool-type reactor design of the EBR-II provides passive safety: the reactor core, its fuel handling equipment, and many other systems of the reactor are submerged under molten sodium. By providing a fluid which readily conducts heat from the fuel to the coolant, and which operates at relatively low temperatures, the EBR-II takes maximum ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_nuclear...

    The aim of the template is to show the characteristics of an reactor design (e.g. RBMK) or individual experimental or prototype reactors (e.g. Chicago Pile-1 or Superphénix), but not for individual power plants (e.g. not Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant)

  9. BN-800 reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BN-800_reactor

    The BN-800 reactor (Russian: реактор БН–800) is a sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor, built at the Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Station, in Zarechny, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia. The reactor is designed to generate 880 MW of electrical power.
