NEUP CINR-19-17355: Development of Versatile Liquid Metal Testing Facility for Lead-cooled Fast Reactor Technology

The objective of this project is to 1) develop a versatile liquid lead testing facility and 2) test material corrosion behavior and ultrasound imaging technology in liquid lead. This will support deployment of a lead cooled-fast reactor which has several advantages in safety, performance and economic viability over other Generation IV reactor concepts. Outcomes of the project will directly support the DOE-NE’s mission of developing an advanced reactor pipeline.
