An ideal coolant for a nuclear reactor should ________________?
Correct answer: D. Be free from radiation damage and non-corrosive
- A. Be a good absorber of neutrons
- B. Be capable of attaining high temperature, only when it is pressurised
- C. Have high density, but low heat transfer co-efficient
- D. Be free from radiation damage and non-corrosive
Explanation
A reactor coolant should resist radiation damage and chemical attack so that it remains safe and does not corrode the core or piping. Good neutron absorption and low heat-transfer performance are undesirable properties, making d the suitable choice.
