Liquid Metal Reactor
Definition:
A liquid metal reactor is a type of nuclear reactor that uses liquid metal, typically sodium or lead-bismuth eutectic, as a coolant instead of water. It offers enhanced safety features and improved efficiency compared to traditional water-cooled reactors.
Sample Sentences:
- The liquid metal reactor utilizes liquid sodium as a coolant to transfer heat away from the core.
- Researchers are studying the feasibility of implementing liquid metal reactors for future sustainable energy production.
- The Chernobyl disaster was the result of a catastrophic failure in a liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactor.
- Some countries have embraced the use of liquid metal reactors to potentially reduce the risk of nuclear accidents.
