Difference between Coolant and Nuclear power plant

Coolant vs. Nuclear power plant

A coolant is a substance, typically liquid or gas, that is used to reduce or regulate the temperature of a system. A nuclear power plant or nuclear power station is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor.

Similarities between Coolant and Nuclear power plant

Coolant and Nuclear power plant have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Breeder reactor, Gas-cooled reactor, Neutron moderator, Nuclear reactor, Pressurized water reactor.

Breeder reactor

A breeder reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates more fissile material than it consumes.

Gas-cooled reactor

A gas-cooled reactor (GCR) is a nuclear reactor that uses graphite as a neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as coolant.

Neutron moderator

In nuclear engineering, a neutron moderator is a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons, thereby turning them into thermal neutrons capable of sustaining a nuclear chain reaction involving uranium-235 or a similar fissile nuclide.

Nuclear reactor

A nuclear reactor, formerly known as an atomic pile, is a device used to initiate and control a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction.

Pressurized water reactor

Pressurized water reactors (PWRs) constitute the large majority of the world's nuclear power plants (notable exceptions being the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada) and are one of three types of light water reactor (LWR), the other types being boiling water reactors (BWRs) and supercritical water reactors (SCWRs).
