I’m in Wyoming to celebrate the next nuclear breakthrough
<i>&quot;liquid sodium, whose boiling point is more than 8 times higher than water’s&quot;</i><p>Ew, multiplicative temperature comparisons in unspecified units.<p>Sodium&#x27;s boiling point is 882&#x27;C.<p><i>&quot;so it can absorb all the extra heat&quot;</i><p>Confusion of temperature and heat? Sodium&#x27;s specific heat capacity is ~1&#x2F;3 of water, so sodium&#x27;s higher boiling point doesn&#x27;t by itself mean that it can absorb more heat, though ofc the combination is still in sodium&#x27;s favour.
