DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis memorandum deals with the use of liquid metals in advanced spacepower plants. The principal liquid-metal candidates for such applications are mercury, NaK, potassium, lithium, cesium, and sodium. These metals are used primarily as heat-transfer media and as working fluids at high temperatures. This memorandum identifies specific areas for molten metal use and discusses the materials, problems, and developments associated with their containment. (Author).
