  1. water and nitrogen

  2. liquid sodium and carbon dioxide

  3. liquid ammonia and carbon monoxide

  4. heavy water and uranium oxide

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coolant is used to remove the heat produced from the reactor core. This heat is then transferred to the electrical generators or the environment. Water, liquid sodium, helium and carbon dioxide are most commonly used coolants.
