I would think not. The temperature differential could fracture the fuel rods, and you don't want that.

Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling water?

Yes, liquid nitrogen can be used to cool water. When added to water, liquid nitrogen evaporates rapidly, absorbing heat from the water and lowering its temperature. It is commonly used in laboratories and industrial settings for this purpose.

What is the difference between nitrogen in the atmosphere and liquid nitrogen?

Liquid nitrogen is made by taking in air from the atmosphere and compressing and cooling it. Once it is cool enough, it forms a liquid. This liquid contains argon, oxygen and nitrogen. These elements are then separated and sold as a commodity. The temperature is the only difference.

Is liquid nitrogen boiling in a refrigerator a physical or chemical change?

It is a physical change, a change in phase from liquid to gas (evaporation). The nitrogen is chemically the same at the lower liquid temperature, but has some different properties because of its ability to absorb heat. If you cool the nitrogen gas , it will turn liquid again.


Can the use of liquid nitrogen on your skin cause an allergic rash?

No. Nitrogen does not irritate skin. But liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and it can damage and kill skin (and other) tissue. It is a bad idea to allow your skin to come into contact with liquid nitrogen. Note: Some warts are "frozen" in an effort to remove them. In a clinical setting, liquid nitrogen is sometimes used to super-cool an instrument so the wart can be frozen. But this is a medical procedure and is done by professionals. Liquid nitrogen is not something that should be looked upon as a "toy" or "recreational plaything" by anyone.


Is there a more common coolant besides liquid nitrogen to cool below 75K?

Helium is used but it is more expensive.


Could a country like Iran use liquid nitrogen for weapons purposes?

Perhaps in a roundabout way. Gas centrifuges need to be cooled as they are spun to separate different isotopes of uranium from one another, and liquid nitrogen could be used to cool the centrifuges. But we track other things to determine whether or not Iran or another country is making weapons, particularly if they are weapons of mass destruction.
