dc.description.abstractThe advantages and disadvantages of a liquid metal fuel reactor system are outlined in relation to other possible power reactors. Liquid metals which are possible fuel carriers and coolants are discussed, and in particular a comparison is drawn between a solution-type fuel using bismuth and a dispersion-type using sodium. The reasons for the choice of a sodium dispersion fuel for the A.A..E.C. research project are presented and the problems posed by such a reactor system are summarised.en_AU
