From sodium cooled fast fission reactors to liquid lead lithium blankets in fusion reactors, liquid metals play a crucial role in nuclear technologies. This panel will discuss current research and industry projects involving liquid metals, examining their scope, and how the nuclear industry as a whole stands to benefit. A majority of the focus will be given to the design, objectives, and lessons learned from liquid metal facilities such as the Lobo Lead Loop and the upcoming Lobo Lead-Lithium Loop. Additionally, the discussion will cover the future of liquid metals as coolants in both fusion and fission reactors within the scope of these two research projects.
