INFO:

Argonne’s Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL) facility is a liquid metal experimental facility used to test components of sodium fast reactors. Sodium (alkali metal) cooled reactors are the most mature advanced reactors. Sodium components at the end of their useful life must be decontaminated prior to disposal. This video shows how Argonne researchers decontaminate components containing sodium after use in preparation for metal recycling. For more information on METL, visit https://www.anl.gov/nse/metl.
