  1. Liquid Metal Power Cycle By: Se Joong (David) Kang

  2. What Is Liquidmetal? • First developed by CalTech • Most are quite SOLID at room temp • Hard wearing • Withstand thermal cycling • High tensile strength • High coeff of restitution • Excellent anti-wearing

  3. Use of Liquid Metal in Power Plant • Referred as liquid metal cooled reactor • Its first adaptation occurred in 1957 • Uses molten metals or actually “liquid” metals • Used in power generation

  4. Commonly Used Sources • Molten Metals • sodium, lead, bismuth alloys • “liquid” metals @ room temp • Mercury, NaK

  5. Advantages • Higher power density • Reactor doesn’t need to be kept under pressure • Requires little space Disadvantages • Difficulty with inspection/reactor repair • Possible corrosion • Potential toxic production

  6. Nuclear Power Plant
