Light Water Reactor




Many other reactors are also (light) water cooled, notably the RBMK and some military Plutonium production reactors. These are not regarded as LWRs, as they are moderated by Graphite , and as a result their nuclear characteristics are very different.

The most common LWRs are Pressurized Water Reactor s and Boiling Water Reactor s.

The U.S.–North Korean Agreed Framework as well as the Six-party Talks involved the supply of LWRs to North Korea .
