Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment: Preliminary Hazards Evaluation for the Use of Sodium in the BNL Four-Inch Loop

Description: The contemplated use of sodium in place of bismuth in the secondary system of the Four-Inch Loop at Brookhaven National Laboratory requires a re-evaluation of the loops design. This report covers those design changes deemed necessary for safe operation of the system. It also includes an evaluation of the possible hazards involved and methods of coping with them. No attempt is made here to cover the hazards of sodium-bismuth reaction.
