A method for the removal of molten sodium from oxygen-free inaccessible locations in reactor coolant systems by flotation with HB-40 (a liquid hydrogenated terphenyl) is described. Butyl alcohol, under nitrogen pressure, is used to remove small amounts of sodium adhering to the stainless steel surface. (C.J.G.)
