Hormone corticosurrénalienne, appartenant au groupe des minéralo-corticoïdes, [...], douée d’une puissante activité sur le métabolisme de l'eau et du chlorure de sodium. [...] Dans le milieu extracellulaire, elle entraîne une rétention de sodium et une fuite de potassium en agissant essentiellement au niveau du rein [...]. Dans le milieu cellulaire, elle favorise le passage du sodium et des ions hydrogène de la cellule vers le milieu extracellulaire, du potassium dans le sens inverse. Elle joue ainsi un rôle important dans la dépolarisation et la repolarisation de la membrane cellulaire. 1, record 1, French, - aldost%C3%A9rone

Le Seawolf(États-Unis) était équipé d’un réacteur à neutrons épithermiques refroidi au sodium liquide qui n’ a que peu navigué en raison d’une fuite à un surchauffeur de vapeur. Très contesté par la marine américaine qui voyait mal le sodium liquide dans un environnement marin, il fut vite abandonné au bénéfice du Nautilus équipé d’un REP [réacteur à eau sous pression]. 1, record 2, French, - surchauffeur%20de%20vapeur

Two passive fire extinguishing systems have been tested. The first was a drainage sump made of a strongly reinforced ordinary concrete covered with a layer of sodium resistant concrete ... The second, a modular smothering pan system, the BALADIN system, has been successfully tested. During the test, 820 kg of sodium at 550°C were discharged in 90 seconds from a 0.5 meter height. The total amount of burnt sodium was less than 20 kg. 1, record 3, English, - smothering%20pan

En se rapportant aux seuls paramètres de combustion et nonobstant la présence des aérosols opaques et nocifs, l'incendie de sodium paraît plus facilement maîtrisable qu'un feu d’hydrocarbure. Il reste à définir un moyen d’extinction de ces feux sodium pour lesquels l'eau est évidemment bannie. Un système passif d’extinction consiste à disposer de bacs étouffoirs : ces systèmes métalliques permettent de limiter les conséquences d’une fuite de sodium en contribuant à diviser la nappe de sodium dans plusieurs compartiments indépendants et à isoler l'oxygène de l'air du métal enflammé. 2, record 3, French, - bac%20%C3%A9touffoir
