Which of the following type of pump is used in liquid metal-cooled reactor for circulation of liquid metal?

  • An electromagnetic-type pump is used in a liquid metal-cooled reactor for the circulation of liquid metal.
  • A liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactor, liquid metal fast reactor or LMFR is an advanced type of nuclear reactor where the primary coolant is a liquid metal.
  • Liquid metals, being electrically highly conductive, can be moved by electromagnetic pumps.
  • An electromagnetic pump is a pump that moves liquid metal (or any electrically conductive liquid) using electromagnetism.
  • A magnetic field is set at right angles to the direction the liquid moves in, and a current is passed through it.
  • This causes an electromagnetic force that moves the liquid. Applications include pumping liquid metal through a cooling system.
