 How do they cool the generators?
 
 As I know, the sodium is used for heat transfer for some
power plant nuclear reactors also?!...
 However, the coolant of choice for large electric generators is
hydrogen gas since it carries away about 5-times as much heat as
air.
 
 There are several large powerplants in our project domain that use
liquid hydrogen to cool the turbines.
