IIRC, gallium has the lowest vapor pressure over the liquid and the largest span of its fusion and boiling temperatures at normal pressures. Like the Na-K liquids, Ga is probably a good candidate for a cooling liquid in future (and past, at least on paper) fission reactors.
It's also pretty much nontoxic, so kids can still do what we all did with mercury way before there were rules. Leaves a grey stain on you hands though...
