Presumably you mean nuclear reactor coolant? This is the fluid that transfers the reactor thermal output to the steam raising units in a PWR, or to the turbine in a BWR, in which cases it is natural water. Gas cooled reactors can use carbon dioxide or helium, and CANDU reactors use heavy water.
What else can I help you with?
What is the part of a nuclear reactor called where the nuclear reaction takes place?
The part of a nuclear reactor where the nuclear reaction takes place is called the reactor core. It typically contains the fuel rods, control rods, and coolant necessary for sustaining and controlling the nuclear reaction.
Which coolant is used in kalpakkam nuclear power plant?
The Kalpakkam nuclear power plant uses heavy water (deuterium oxide) as a coolant and moderator in its Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). Heavy water has a higher density than regular water, allowing it to efficiently slow down neutrons and regulate the nuclear reaction in the reactor core.
State wether a nuclear fusion is a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?
Nuclear
How do you say nuclear reaction in German?
nuclear reaction= Kernreaktion
Is fusion a type of chemical reaction?
False
What is the function of coolant in nuclear power plant?
The reactor coolant is used to extract heat from the nuclear fuel and hence maintains its integrity.
What describes a nuclear reaction?
nuclear
What type of reaction supplies the most energy?
fusion nuclear reaction followed by fission nuclear reaction
Is a nuclear reaction a living thing?
A nuclear reaction is not considered a living thing.
Is nuclear energy a fission or fusion reaction?
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
How does a nuclear meltdown occur?
A nuclear meltdown occurs when a nuclear reactor's core overheats to the point where the fuel rods melt, releasing radioactive material. This can be triggered by factors such as coolant failure or loss of control over the nuclear chain reaction. The extreme heat generated can lead to the release of harmful radiation into the environment.
What starts the nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor?
The nuclear chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is started by the splitting of uranium atoms, a process known as nuclear fission.
