Abstract

802,938. Heat-transmitting media. UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION, [formerly UNION CARBIDE & CARBON CORPORATION]. June 29, 1956 [July 1, 1955], No. 20147/56. Class 64(2) [Also in Group XL(a)] Niobium pentafluoride is employed as a coolant in a nuclear reactor, preferably boiling within the reactor and condensing in a heat exchanger. This substance is selected for its heat of vaporization, convenient boiling point (234.9‹C), low capture cross-section for thermal neutrons, and non-corrosive action on structural materials such as aluminium and copper. The fuel elements may be immersed in a bath of niobium pentafluoride.
