On February 21st, the project assessment meeting of "Design and Development of multi-functional lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) integrated experimental loop KYLIN-II for lead-bismuth cooled reactor technologies" was held at the Institute of Nuclear Energy Safety Technology (INEST), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Experts from Nuclear Power Institute of China, China Institute of Atomic Energy, China Nuclear Power Technology Research Institute et.al. were invited to participate in.

After reviewing the detailed presentations on the design, key technology development, construction, commissioning as well, all the experts’ panel concluded that: The KYIN-II loop is one of the world's largest multi-functional lead-bismuth comprehensive experimental platform ever built. The platform scale, design parameters and comprehensive experimental capabilities of the loop have achieved the international advanced level compared to others in the world, its successful construction and commissioning will greatly lay the foundation of the further research on lead-based cooled reactor technology and heavy liquid metal technology which will play an important role for developing the advanced nuclear energy system in China.
