Correct answer: A. Coolant water is allowed to boil in the core of the reactor
- A. Coolant water is allowed to boil in the core of the reactor
- B. Coolant water, after being heated in the reactor core, generates steam in a boiler
- C. Pressurised water is pumped into the core
- D. Fuel and the coolant are thoroughly mixed to form a homogeneous solution
