An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using an NaK free-convection-cooled shaft freeze seal on the SRE main sodium pumps. The use of sodium in this application instead of tetralin eliminates the carburization hazard present should the seal coolant-(tetralin) leak into the sodium system. Results and recommendations are included. (J.R.D.
