Gas cooling as compared to water cooling of nuclear reactors
|
|
can not attain a high temperature.
|
|
|
is more efficient as gas has a higher specific heat.
|
|
|
can produce only saturated steam for feeding to power turbine.
|
|
|
none of these.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Such reactors can achieve very high fuel utilization rates and operate at high temperatures. They also produce process heat, which can be used for hydrogen production and low-temperature applications such as seawater desalination and district heating.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is used due to its availability and high heat capacity, both for cooling and heating. It is especially effective to transport heat through vaporization and condensation of water because of its very large latent heat of vaporization.
