Argonne’s METL gears up to test more sodium fast reactor components
Argonne National Laboratory has successfully swapped out an aging cold trap in the sodium test loop called METL (Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop), the Department of Energy announced April 23. The upgrade is the first of its kind in the United States in more than 30 years, according to the DOE, and will help test components and operations for the sodium-cooled fast reactors being developed now.

Resonance integral calculations are done for 232Th infinite dilute, 232Th metal rod, and 232Th02 rod systems. Doppler effect calculations are performed for 232 Th02 rod systems for temperatures up to 2000°K. The resolved resonance integral for rod systems at each temperature is evaluated by Monte Carlo calculations and the resonance overlap effect between the two resonances of Th at 21.78 and 23.45 eV is taken into account. The unresolved s- and p-wave contributions were computed by standard methods. The data describing the resolved resonance parameters up to 3 keV (гγ = 25.9 meV) recommended in BNL-325 (Supplement No. 2, 1965) are used in these calculations. The p-wave strength function in the unresolved energy range is taken to be 1.83 x 10 -4 (eV)-1/2. The calculated resonance integrals and Doppler coefficients are compared with measurements and they are found to be in excellent agreement with each other.
