High-temperature test reactor engineering experiments

Inspection, refueling, and maintenance test facility (engineering). Reactor inspection, maintenance, and refueling operations will occur at high temperatures relative to sodium-cooled reactors. At the same time, molten salts are transparent and allow for the use of optical systems. There has been limited experience with lead-cooled reactors in the chemical industry at these temperatures. A facility is required to develop the technology and test designs for these operations.
