Edward Kent will discuss experimental research at Argonne National Laboratory’s Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL), a large-scale liquid-sodium facility supporting the development of sodium-cooled fast reactor technology. The presentation will likely highlight sodium testing, instrumentation and experiments designed to validate components and technologies for advanced reactors.

The NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers, industry experts, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students, faculty, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy, education, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.
