Abstract

A method for covering sodium conveying piping in a fast breeder reactor which makes use of metallic sodium as a coolant material is described herein, which method consists of the steps of preparing a covering material by mixing a raw material having sodium resistance and silicate or phosphate under a wet condition and after press-shaping said mixture drying the shaped mixture, and covering the sodium conveying piping with said covering material, whereby dispersion of leaked metallic sodium from the piping can be prevented.
