How much helium would a gas cooled reactor require for startup and loss replacement? Would helium's scarcity pose a major obstacle to widespread or long term adoption of it as a coolant for nuclear reactors?

So, this is just a simple question that crossed my mind. When say, a blowtorch or propane tank is ignited, how does the entire canister not go up in flames? How does the flame only stay on the outside and not burn through to the inside where the gas supply is? Will whatever principle this works...
