Germany’s Unterweser completes removal of steam generators
All four steam generators at Germany’s Unterweser nuclear power plant have been removed from the reactor building, plant owner PreussenElektra has announced. The single-unit pressurized water reactor was shut down in 2011 as part of Germany’s decision to phase out nuclear energy. Decommissioning and dismantlement of the reactor began soon after PreussenElektra was granted a permit for the work in February 2018.

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.
