The present application relates to a molten metal transfer pump in which a spiral flow channel is formed by a cylindrical body and a spiral body received in the cylindrical body while being fixed and which allows molten metal to swirl in the spiral flow channel by using Lorentz force generated by a current that flows in a longitudinal direction in molten metal in the cylindrical body and a lateral magnetic field that is generated by a permanent magnet provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body.

A liquid metal-cooled nuclear reactor includes, within a reactor pressure vessel having a reactor core, a multistage annular linear induction pump (ALIP) configured to circulate liquid metal coolant through the reactor core. The multistage ALIP includes multiple sets of induction coils that at least partially define separate, respective stages of the multistage ALIP. The multiple sets of induction coils are configured to be electrically connected to separate, respective polyphase power supplies, such that the stages of the multistage ALIP are configured to be controlled independently of each other to adjustably control a flow of liquid metal coolant through the reactor core based on independent control of the multiple polyphase power supplies.
