Application of magnetohydrodynamics pumps in the fuel loop of Dual Fluid Reactor

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) pumps are devices that cause the movement of a (conductive) liquid by the generated electromagnetic field. The major advantage of these pumps is that they do not have any moving parts inside that could be damaged by the temperature of the medium. Since the 1950 s, scientists have been interested in the use of magnetohydrodynamic pumps in nuclear power engineering, mostly in the loop of liquid sodium or molten salts coolant. Nobody, however, has dealt with the use of MHD pumps for the fluid of parameters that are expected in a dual-fluid reactor (DFR).
