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.

KAERI
Mr. Tae-Ho Lee is a Vice President of SMART Development at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI).
He has more than 24 years of experience in the fields of design and experiments for nuclear reactor.
Early in his career, he was involved in the system design of commercial power reactor and SMART.
Then, he has participated in several projects related with reactor system design and technology validation of sodium-cooled fast reactor as project manager or director for about 14 years.
He joined again the SMART projects in 2019 and currently takes overall responsibility for technology development of light-water type SMR at KAERI.
