  • Abstract
    The characteristics of insulated sodium conductor required the development of a new type of connector and a new installation technique. The problems involved making stable electrical contact to the sodium, sealing against chemical attack, installation with a minimum exposure of sodium, securely gripping the insulation, effects of the melting point of sodium, and temperature limitations of the insulation.
