Keywords:Sodium cooled fast reactor, Vacuum ultra violet, Visualization, Gas-liquid two phase flow

In this study, we have performed extensive experiments to visualize liquid sodium flow with a sodium loop(T.Fukuda,ICONE19) and carried out intensive investigations related to visualization and control of liquid sodium flow field , with the aim of solving problems related to thermal hydraulics such as gas entrainment and vortex dynamics in sodium cooled fast reactor.
