LIQUID-METAL COOLANTS FOR NUCLEAR POWER

Liquid-metal coolants for nuclear power systems are compared taking account of the general laws and individual physical-chemical properties of liquid metals, for which unique nuclear-physical and thermophysical properties, and low vapor pressure at high temperature are characteristic and the experimental data on the properties of metal melts can be generalized on the basis of thermodynamic similarity theory and the thermophysical parameters of these systems can be determined more accurately.
