In Japan, the advanced thermal reactor (ATR), a heavy-water moderated, boiling light-water cooled reac-tor, is being designed for plutonium utilization. The design of the ATR is based on Fugen, a 165-MWe proto-type reactor that has been in commercial operation since 1979. The expected performance of MOX fuel has been
Water cooled nuclear reactors (WCR) | IAEA
May 9, 2024 · Heavy Water Reactors (HWRs) use “enriched” water, the molecules of which comprise hydrogen atoms that are made up to more than 99 per cent of deuterium, a heavier hydrogen isotope. This heavy water, used as a moderator, improves the overall neutron economy, allowing fuel to be used that does not require enrichment.
