Light water reactor
"LWR" redirects here. See also:
LWR (disambiguation)
A light water reactor or LWR is a thermal
nuclear reactor
that uses ordinary
water
, also called
light water
, as its
neutron moderator
. This differentiates it from a
heavy water reactor
, which uses
heavy water
as a neutron moderator. In practice all LWRs are also water cooled. While ordinary water has some heavy water molecules in it, it is not enough to be important in most applications.
