The Liquid Metal Frontier

Mastering Thermohydraulics and Magnetohydrodynamics in Advanced Nuclear Systems

Unlock the power of the stars with the fluids that make fusion possible.

Strategic Objectives

• Master the complex physics of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in liquid metals.

• Optimize heat transfer in high-flux hybrid blanket environments.

• Navigate the corrosive challenges of lead, bismuth, and lithium alloys.

• Design resilient cooling systems for the future of sustainable energy.

The Core Challenge

Conventional cooling fails under the extreme heat fluxes and intense magnetic fields of next-generation reactors.
