Lots of OR not all of it even accurate

[edit]

Just a sample from the current version... Water tends to corrode and dissolve metals, both the nuclear fuel and the reactor as a whole. To avoid corrosion of the fuel, it is formed into cylindrical pellets and then inserted in zirconium tubes or other "cladding" materials. No. Metal fuel is not generally in pellets, but oxide fuel is, but the water wouldn't attack it anyway. Cladding is necessary in any case to help contain the fission products.

Organic-based coolants

[edit]

A section about the used organic-based coolants (which?) would be useful. --Wickey (talk) 12:07, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
