    | Thermal | $< 1 \text{ eV}$ | Capture/Resonance | High ($10^2 - 10^6$ barns) | Governed by isotopic electronic configuration. |
    | Epithermal | $1 \text{ eV} - 100 \text{ keV}$ | Scattering/Fission Threshold | Moderate (Variable) | Region sensitive to temporary negative ion formation. |

    Coolant Functions
    The coolant serves two primary functions: extracting the intense heat generated by fission and maintaining the reactor core structure below critical degradation temperatures. While water is the most common coolant, liquid metals (like sodium in Fast Breeder Reactors) and inert gases (like Helium in [High-Temperature Gas…
