Coolant is a substance, typically liquid, that is used to reduce or regulate the temperature of a system. An ideal coolant has high thermal capacity, low viscosity, is low-cost, non-toxic, chemically inert and neither causes nor promotes corrosion of the cooling system.

In Nuclear Tech Mod, Coolant and Hot Coolant are both very important liquids used in a RBMK and a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). Both very important for the mod progression and also very good for your factory/base, wielding massive amounts of energy with different types of fuels.

Coolant and Hot Coolant are both used in nuclear reactors 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, melted down.

Production

Coolant can be made in a Chemical Plant and a Industrial Mixer with the same item and fluid.

Chemical Plant

Inputs	Recipe
Chemistry Template: Coolant Mixing Production Time: 2.5 seconds Inputs: Niter, Water Produces: Coolant	1,800mB 2,000mB

And in the Industrial Mixer:

1,800mB

2,000mB

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.
