At the heart of the facility is a kind of heavy-water reactor known for its high neutron flux. This reactor, it is reported, can be continuously refueled without being shut down and operate stably ...

All LWRs require fuel that is enriched in the fissile isotope, U-235. Heavy Water Reactors (HWRs) use “enriched” water, the molecules of which comprise hydrogen atoms that are made up to more than 99 ...

Like traffic cops, heavy water's deuterium atoms effectively curb the pace of neutrons without capturing them. Nuclear reactors that use heavy water can employ a form of uranium commonly found in ...

Maybe. Powering homes? That’s another licence entirely Canadian nuclear regulators have approved an Ontario company's request ...

As an improvisation, by using thorium irradiated along with HALEU in the PHWRs at scale, the spent fuel produced can then be recycled to set up additional power generation capacity ...

NPCIL is garnering interest from other central PSUs like Indian Oil Corporation and Indian Railways for joint nuclear power ...

This is part of the 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor Fleet Programme, with L&T delivering all four SGs in 45 months.
