TABLE OF REACTOR COOLANT PROPERTIES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4015193
Selected properties of coolants currently being considered for use in nuclear reactors are presented. Physical, chemical, and nuclear properties that must be considered in selecting reactor coolants are listed. Data on cost, material compatibility, toxicity, and non-nuclear hazards are also given. A number of combined parameters were evaluated that are helpful in comparing such important criteria as low pumping power, wide temperature range, low induced activity, and moderating properties. Included is a bibliography listing references to additional data. (auth)
