Lead-cooled fast reactor

Type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten lead

The lead-cooled fast reactor is a nuclear reactor design that use molten lead or lead-bismuth eutectic coolant. These materials can be used as the primary coolant because they have low neutron absorption and relatively low melting points. Neutrons are slowed less by interaction with these heavy nuclei so these reactors operate with fast neutrons.
