No Optical Brighteners), Absorbent Core (Sodium Polyacrylate Blended With Plant - Based & Plant - Derived Material), Plant - Based PLA (Inner & Outer Layer), Safe Adhesives (In Seams & Joints), Polymer Spandex & Polypropylene (In Leg / Waist System), Ink (Made Without Lead & Heavy Metals In Printed Backsheet), Citrus Extract & Liquid Chlorophyll (Natural Acting Odor Blockers In Absorbent - Core)

Lathrop's spinning spheres at Maryland are without a doubt the big daddy of the sodium experiments, and while the sodium portion is just getting under way, the team tested the experiment with water several years ago to be sure all the mechanical parts worked before tanking up with a liquid metal that can give off a highly flammable gas.

To obtain this result, they modeled Earth's outer core using liquid sodium enclosed between two rotating concentric metal spheres, a set - up they dubbed the Derviche Tourneur Sodium (DTS) experisodium enclosed between two rotating concentric metal spheres, a set - up they dubbed the Derviche Tourneur Sodium (DTS) experiSodium (DTS) experiment.1

Hence, engineers typically use a liquid metal such as sodium as a coolant and heat transporter.

So the scientists used a liquid mixture of sodium and another alkali metal, potassium, which they could slowly drip into water in drops of a uniform size and shape.

This ensures efficient transfer of heat from the metal fuel to the liquid sodium coolant.

Instead of water, liquid sodium is typically used as a coolant because the sodium atoms are so much larger and heavier than neutrons that when they collide the neutrons simply ricochet off the sodium atom - much a like a small bullet ricocheting off a thick plate metal.

The heat from the primary liquid sodium is transferred through the metal structure of the IHX to the liquid sodium flowing through intermediate side.

All other sodium reactors use oxide fuels, while PRISM uses a metal fuel, an alloy of zirconium, uranium, and plutonium, and the fuel rods sit in a bath of liquid sodium at atmospheric pressure.

Four electromagnetic (EM) pumps are suspended from the top of the reactor vessel and have no moving parts — the liquid metal sodium is propelled by the use of magnets in the pump.

Unlike the current generation of light - water nuclear reactors, PRISM uses metallic fuel, such as an alloy of zirconium, uranium, and plutonium, and PRISM's fuel rods sit in a bath of a liquid metal — sodium — at atmospheric pressure, which ensures that the transfer of heat from the metal fuel to the liquid sodium coolant is extremely efficient.
