Liquid Metal Power Cycles

Liquid metal power cycles offer significant benefits for advanced nuclear reactors, including high strength, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and corrosion and wear resistance. With an amorphous structure and low thermal expansion coefficient, liquid metals are ideal coolants for reactors utilizing fast neutron reactions, eliminating the need for moderators, and enabling higher power densities. This technology promises not only safety but also enhanced efficiency in energy production, paving the way for the next generation of nuclear reactors.
