CX-019003: Integral Experimental Investigation of Radioisotope Retention in Flowing Lead for the Mechanistic Source Term Evaluation of Lead Cooled Fast Reactor – University of New Mexico

The University of New Mexico, in collaboration with Brigham Young University and Westinghouse Electric Company, proposes to investigate the integral effects of radioisotope interactions with liquid lead to support the following technical goals: (1) evaluating the mechanistic source term of the Lead-cooled Fast Reactor, (2) developing a universal integral effect test methodology for liquid metal source term evaluations, and (3) establishing a basis for the comparison of radioisotope retention between lead and sodium.
