Canadian deuterium uranium reactor (CANDU)
Uses heavy water or deuterium oxide (D2O), rather than light water (H2O), as the coolant and moderator. Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen that has a different neutron absorption spectrum from that of ordinary hydrogen. In a deuterium-moderated-reactor, fuel made from natural uranium (0.71 U-235) can sustain a chain reaction. Author: Admin :: Hits: 4 :: Added: Wed Jun 13 2007 ::
