ABSTRACT:
A liquid metal cooled nuclear reactor has scanning means whereby ultra sound is transmitted between a transducer unit and objects in the pool of reactor coolant by way of a liquid wave guide. The wave guide is created by drawing liquid metal from the pool of coolant into a dip pipe to submerge the transducer unit. The liquid metal is drawn up in two stages with a cooling period between the stages.
