>A centrifugal pump performed adequately at a flow rate of 7200 gpm of 945 gas-cooled F sodium at a 150-ft head. A two-region freeze seal was developed and used successfully as a shaft seal on this pump. The results indicate that this pump could perform satisfactorily in the Hallam Power Reactor. (auth
