Fast neutrons are necessary for plutonium breeder reactors in order for them to produce more plutonium than they consume. As a result, they are unable to use water as a coolant because collisions between neutrons and the light hydrogen nuclei in water cause them to slow down significantly. Liquid sodium has been the coolant utilized in all demonstration breeder reactors thus far. Sodium has significant disadvantages in addition to certain safety benefits. The most dangerous: It burns when exposed to air and reacts aggressively with water. One of the most problematic aspects of fast reactor systems is their usage of steam generators, which separate high-pressure water and molten sodium via thin metal pipes.
