## Description

To develop further understanding of the performance of materials and coatings in liquid metals and molten salts, we are seeking a Concept Study for a test rig which can investigate coolant corrosive properties and flow behaviour in representative blanket conditions\. The intention is to simulate the flow of the coolant, which will be induced by a stirring mechanism \(e\.g\. rotating disk or impeller in a small \(less than 100 cm3\) crucible\)\.
