An experimental loop will serve mainly for material testing of variable nickel alloys in the environment of fluoride melt. This device is non-active laboratory universal technical set of loop conception, which models the primary circuit of the future salt reactor (MSR). Its purpose is to study the behavior of molten fluoride salts, technology of preparation and manipulation with molten salts in different operating models, long-term corrosion tests and long-term tests of various types of gaskets in flanged connections.

• Custom capacity of the loop ≈ 3 dm3 (min. 1.5 dm3, max. 4.5 dm3)
• Maximum achievable temperature of the salt _ at least 760 °C
• Estimated operating salt temperature _ 500-600 °C
• Composition of the salt (primarily used) _ LiF-BeF2 (66-34 mol. %)
• Total input of heating loop_ max. 25 kW
• Volume of handling tank ≈ 5 dm3 (min. 3 dm3, max. 8 dm3)
