DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1871464· OSTI ID:1871464
LANL provided support to Niowave Inc. on the design and analysis of the Mk. 4 and Mk. 5, 20 kW converter. The Mk. 4 converter design consisted of lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) flowing over a divider plate to create a waterfall. Niowave, with feedback from LANL, improved on the Mk.4 divider plate and “horn” region of the converter to create the Mk. 5 version of the converter.
