coolant

Even better when it has lost a coolant seal and you get that nice sticky white-blue coolant component to the noxious cloud left behind.

What the US Navy actually does with its spent reactor coolant, is to make concrete out of it.

The Sodium reactor is a standard solid core Uranium fueled design that uses liquid sodium as a coolant.

Sodium, a metal that burns on contact with water, was used as the coolant for a submerged nuclear reactor!

Regular coolant has a lower freezing temp than water, but does it have a higher boiling point as well?

The main risks in nuclear power are loss of coolant, containment breach or a prompt criticality event.

If they're still pumping coolant into the reactors, why aren't they reusing the water that's already radioactive for that purpose?

PBRs are one of several inherently safe designs wherein shutoff of circulating coolant raises core temperature and natural processes serve to choke criticality.

It would with an unlimited supply of coolant, but bringing mass is expensive.

Its interesting to watch the other readouts like coolant temperature.

Instead of lead-bismuth, its original coolant was liquid sodium.

Liquid Nitrogen is the go-to coolant for overclocking records/competition.

TMI was a pressured water reactor and one of the cardinal sins taught in training was never let the primary coolant system "go solid", i.e., no steam void in the pressurizer.

We had running out of coolant gasses and so and we have "unlimited" access to the materials in the space: "nothing" and sun radiation.

Coolant loss would cause any in-line engine to seize up, Merlin, Allison, or whatever it was that the ME-109 used.
