Liquid Fuels
Liquid fuels are liquids containing dissolved nuclear fuel. Liquid-fueled reactors generally have large negative feedback mechanisms and therefore are particularly stable designs; however the liquid fuel form also has the disadvantage of being easily dispersible in the event of an accident, such as a leak in the primary system.

Famous quotes containing the word liquid:
““Awake,
My fairest, my espoused, my latest found,
Heaven’s last best gift, my ever new delight,
Awake, the morning shines, and the fresh field
Calls us: we lose the prime, to mark how spring
Our tended plants, how blows the citron grove,
What drops the myrrh and what the balmy reed,
How nature paints her colors, how the bee
Sits on the bloom extracting liquid sweet.””
—John Milton (1608–1674)
