  • Method of launching natural circulation of liquid metal coolant of a fast neutron nuclear chain reactor
    Patent number: 10937558
    Abstract: The method of launching natural circulation of the liquid metal coolant in the heat sink circuit of the fast neutron nuclear reactor without connection to the main heat source (first circuit heat sink) and without using pumping equipment, but only as a result of electric heating of the downing and lifting sections of the heat sink circuit to the specified temperatures and, as a consequence, the occurring difference in the densities of the coolant on the lifting and downing sections of the heat sink circuit.
