Why would anybody pay for that?
- magicalhippo 6y agoBecause it's a pretty good idea to know if the stuff that's responsible for containing the radioactive parts can do the job?
- jupp0r 6y agoThey are selling these to customers. GPs question is what customers would do with them.
- NortySpock 6y agoLow corrosion materials and parts designs might still be worth it in other non-nuclear industrial processes?
- magicalhippo 6y agoI presume customers are manufacturers of potential reactor parts that want to see that they can handle the salt, temperatures etc. edit: from the datasheet[1]: The portable loop are sutable rapid prototype validation, long term testing of mean time between failure, salt compatibility testing, and many types of experiments that require flowing molten salts. Components such as gaskets, flanges, filters, valves, pumps, pressure sensors, flow meters, and heat exchangers, etc. can be tested inside the furnace with flowing molten salt.

- neltnerb 6y agoIt is better to make sure that the reactor won't corrode through just from the molten salts prior to testing it with radioactive molten salt. This is currently not clear.
