The use of liquid sodium as a coolant in fast breeder reactors has created interest in corrosion processes and the chemistry of liquid sodium systems. Often, small bench-scale experiments require metal stirring, usually accomplished by mechanical means. An alternate method has been suggested which would employ a rotating magnetic field similar to the principal of the three-phase induction. This method has been successfully employed with the convenient use of the stator windings of a 1.5 hp, three-phase, two-pole induction motor. The stirring stator coils are water cooled.
