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.
