ABSTRACT:
A getter trap to remove hydrogen and oxygen from a liquid metal, such as liquid sodium, includes an elongated, closed housing having an inlet at one end thereof and an outlet at the other end. A getter material is randomly diposed within the housing comprising a zirconium-containing substrate of hollow, tubular sections having a coating thereon of a gettering alloy of zirconium, vanadium and iron. As a liquid metal flows through the inlet into the housing and through the getter material, and is discharged from the housing through the outlet, hydrogen and oxygen impurities are removed from the liquid metal. The getter trap is particularly useful in an improved liquid metal cooled nuclear reactor system.
