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.

Session Chair:
Ashley E. Finan (INL)
Session Organizers:
Brad Tomer (Chief Operating Officer – NRIC, INL)
Sanjay Mukhi (Collaboration Manager – NRIC, INL)
The National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC), established by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in August 2019 as a national program led by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), enables collaborators to harness the world class capabilities of the U.S. National Laboratory System to bridge the gap between research, development, and the energy marketplace to help convert some of the Nation’s most promising advanced nuclear concepts into commercial applications by 2030. This session will outline NRIC’s capabilities to support advanced reactor developers to demonstrate their designs and highlight the benefits of digital engineering with our demonstration platforms. There will be two panels during this session that will address 1) Advanced Construction Technologies and how they can be used in advanced nuclear reactor and 2) a Siting Tool for Advanced Nuclear Development, which helps identify and compare possible siting locations inside the continental U.S. for advanced nuclear facilities based on factors related to socioeconomics, proximity, and safety.
