Research Abstract

This study aims to prove the effect of portable type of active flow control magnet which would comprehensively solve thermal hydraulic issues in a sodium-cooled fast reactor. This technology utilizes electromagnetic force that negatively affects for conducting fluid in general. During the support by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, a flow test loop, which is the firstly introduced loop in Japan, were newly constructed utilizing liquid gallium as the simulant of sodium, and confirmed its safety operation with many handling techniques of the gallium flow.
