Nuclear reactor coolants are substances used to transfer heat away from the reactor core during the nuclear fission process. The primary function of a coolant is to remove heat generated by the fission reactions in the fuel rods and to prevent overheating, which could lead to safety hazards, including the potential for a meltdown. Coolants play a crucial role in the overall safety and efficiency of a nuclear reactor.
