In most high temperature gas cooled reactor concepts it seems like helium is the preferred gas. But what makes helium a better chooise than nitrogen?
And when on the topic of gas cooled graphite moderated reactors, what guarantees that the graphite will never catch fire? Is there just not plausible way that enough oxygen get into the core for it to be a possibility?
