Since the 1960s, electromagnetic (EM) pumps have been used to move liquid sodium in nuclear cooling systems, and in other, experimental nuclear applications. Because EM pumps use electromagnetism to move molten metal – with no moving parts – they are a safer and more reliable alternative to mechanical pumps. And when it comes to transferring … Study: How to Evenly Distribute Molten Metal Velocity in Electromagnetic Pumps in Nuclear Power Applications
