Hot Coolant



Coolant and Hot Coolant are liquid coolants used the RBMK and the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) both use in order to move the heat from the core of the reactor to the hull, where it can boil water into steam.


Without the coolant, the temperature of the nuclear reactor core would slowly increase until it maxxed out and eventually, melt.

Uses

As stated earlier, Coolant moves the heat from the core to the hull, boiling the water into Steam.


It can be put into the rods of the reactor, where each rod is equivalent to 1000mB of Coolant.

It can also be further processed in a chemical plant to create cryogel.
