Methods: The researchers first evaluated corrosion and cracking in alloy 690 exposed to simulated pressurized
water reactor primary water at temperatures from 325 to 360 degrees C.

But Southern Co., the
primary developer, is permitted to recapture costs during construction, and another project partner has a «hell or high
water» sales contract requiring customers to keep paying down on the project's debt even if the
reactors can't be completed.
All four
reactors have a nice
primary containment — which means we should not worry very much at this point about the design of our boiling -
water reactors and our pressurized -
water reactors.
Each PRISM
reactor has an intermediate sodium loop that exchanges heat between the
primary sodium coolant from the core with
water / steam in a sodium /
water steam generator.
Three piping loops would cool the
reactor: the
primary loop (using molten sodium), an intermediate sodium loop between the radioactive
primary system and the steam generators, and a
water loop to generate steam for the turbine.
