To examine the compatibility with liquid sodium possessed by structural materials for liquid-metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) steam generators, tests were conducted on selected steels in a sodium loop facility. Mass-transfer behavior of specimens exposed to sodium flow were examined for three conditions:
