Steam-Generating Heavy Water Reactor
ID: steam-generating-heavy-water-reactor
A Steam-Generating Heavy Water Reactor (SGHWR) is a type of nuclear reactor that uses heavy water (deuterium oxide, D₂O) as its primary coolant and neutron moderator. This design allows the reactor to efficiently sustain a nuclear fission chain reaction while producing steam for generating electricity.
