Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. But Russia has decided not to build another one until the 2030s, because they are more expensive than conventional water-cooled reactors.

Although military aircraft were breaking the sound barrier daily during the 1950s and '60s, commercial passenger flights during this time remained limited to subsonic speeds. Today's airliners travel no faster than their counterparts of 60 years ago—indeed, they tend to fly somewhat slower to reduce fuel costs.
