An analytical method is presented for accurate determination of the length of a freeze-seal stem for use in sodium components. The analysis is directly applicable to a vertical stem with longitudinal fins that is cooled by natural or forced convection and thermal radiation. The method can be readily extended to other geometrical systems.
