Possible Future
Engineers in India are showing renewed interest in the organic moderated and cooled reactor. Currently, India’s reactors are almost exclusively pressurized heavy water reactors similar to Canada Deuterium-Uranium CANDU reactors. While the CANDU design has the distinct advantage of being able to be refueled online, it has several drawbacks because of increased system complexity. Due to the significant possibility for cost reduction using a low-pressure design, the Heavy Water Organic Cooled Reactor is again being studied as an alternative. It is believed that an organic coolant purification system can be developed to handle the decomposition of the organic coolant, and research has begun to this effect.
