Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. The new breeder reactors in China, meanwhile, are demonstration projects, the second step in a three-step program to develop fast breeder reactors to reduce the country’s dependence on coal.

Many of you write to us about the long tailpipe of electric vehicles and coal is major source of electricity generated in India. Studies from independent scientists tell us that even if 100% of Electricity is generated from coal, EV’s emit 50% lesser carbon gases due to the efficiency of the electric motor. .
