Characterization of mechanical strain induced by lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) freezing in stainless steel cup

Lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) is a candidate liquid metal coolant for a fast reactor, especially accelerator driven system (ADS). Freeze sealed valve is a candidate design to be possible to add passive safety to the reactor. On the other hand, since LBE is known that it causes expansion after its soli...
