For the record, nuclear reactor coolant is water.

Ummm, not quite that for the core. If they had to have outside supplies, that would be heavy water.

Well, apparently there are Water cooled reactors, Liquid metal cooled reactors, Sodium-cooled fast reactors, Lead-cooled fast reactors, Gas cooled reactors, Molten Salt Reactors, etc. I don’t know what kind of reactor is at issue in Japan and what coolant has been delivered.

Highly, highly distilled water.

Ultra pure water, I wonder what the conductivity of it is....
