Its not used in any reactor designs. Most use ordinary water. A few designs use molten metals like sodium, NaK (sodium-potassium alloy), Mercury, etc. because they do not slow the neutrons as water would and they want fast neutrons in these designs. These metals also transfer heat more efficiently than water does.

Why lithium is strongest reducing agent?
Due to the small size of the ion lithium has highest hydration energywhich accounts for high reducing power.
Which is the strongest oxidizing agent between lithium fluorine hydrogen?
This chemical element is fluorine.
Lithium is better reducing agent than cesium in aqueous solution?
, the alkali metals are powerful reducing agents. Lithium in aqueous solution is as strong a reducing agent as Caesium. This is probably due to high hydration energy of small lithium ion, which compensates for high ionisation energy. The hydration energy of alkali metal ions follows the order: Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ > Cs+ . Due to extensive hydration, Li+ ion has the highest hydration energy, as a result of which reduction potential of Li is higher than other alkali metals. Thus most powerful reducing agent in solution is lithium.
What are the positives and negatives of uranium?
Applications of uranium: - nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - material for armors and projectiles - catalyst - additive for glass and ceramics (to obtain beautiful green colors) - toner in photography - mordant for textiles - shielding material (depleted uranium) - ballast - and other minor applications Disadvantages of uranium: 1. Uranium is a possible polluting agent of the natural environment. 2. Uranium is a toxic and radioactive chemical element. 3. Uranium release radium and radon.
Which chemical agent or hazardous material that interferes with the body's ability to transfer oxygen to the cells?
phosgene
Is lithium a strong oxidizing agent?
No, lithium is a strong reducing agent.
What is the chemical uses of helium?
Helium is used in balloons, leak testing, welding in controlled atmospheres, magnetic resonance imaging, cooling agent for nuclear reactors, lasers, etc.
What is a light water reactor?
The nuclear fission reactors used in the United States for electric power production are classified as "light water reactors" in contrast to the "Heavy Water Reactors" used in Canada. Light water (ordinary water) is used as the moderator in U.S. reactors as well as the cooling agent and the means by which heat is removed to produce steam for turning the turbines of the electric generators.
