Strategic Objectives
• Master the fundamental fluid dynamics of high-density liquid metals.
• Understand the chemical mechanisms behind LBE-induced corrosion and mitigation.
• Explore the design principles of next-generation transmutation burners.
• Gain insights into the safety protocols and operational challenges of LBE systems.
The Core Challenge
Traditional water-cooled reactors face thermal limits that only heavy liquid metals can overcome, yet the corrosive nature of Lead-Bismuth Eutectic remains a formidable engineering hurdle.
