The Santa Susana Mountains in Southern California. The Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory near Simi Valley, California. Facilities inside the Sodium Reactor Experiment also known as the SRE. A miniature model of the SRE showing its sodium graphite reactor. Miniature pipes show the movement of liquid sodium into the reactor. Animation shows the core tank and the reactor fuel is metallic uranium contained in clusters suspended within the core of the reactor. The animation shows the layers of the core tank, the flow of liquid sodium into the core tank, and a diagram showing the transfer of energy from the core tank to steam plant that produces electricity.
Scientists working in control room of Sodium Reactor Experiment nuclear power plant at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Southern California. Fuel elements made from special uranium alloys, thorium uranium, and high temperature ceramic fuels. A scientist in white protective suit rides and operates bridge train. Fuel elements are removed from the core by the shielded fuel handling cast. The operator positions the cast in the general area over the used fuel element to be withdrawn. An indexing mechanism guides the cast to a preset position. Pneumatic mechanism forces an LED radiation shield down onto the surface of the loading face. Animation depicts a pickup device within the cast is lowered to engage the shielding plug of the used fuel element, with the shielding plug hanger rod and radioactive fuel element as one complete unit. Revolving fuel support plate at the top of the cast rotates to position new fuel element over empty fuel channel. The new fuel element is lowered into the core and shielding mechanisms are raised. The used fuel element is taken to underground cleaning cells where it is washed in a water bath. The fuel element is transferred into a storage cell after cleaning to permit reprocessing. Scientists use the hot cells for disassembly and study of experimental fuel elements. A scientist uses a robotic arms to handle irradiated material in another room.
