What is Comparison of Nuclear Reactor Types about?

There are three main types of nuclear power reactors: boiling water reactors (BWR), pressurized water reactors (PWR), and pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR). BWRs use light water as both coolant and moderator, while PWRs use separate coolant and moderator loops. PHWRs use heavy water as both coolant and moderator. All three reactor types generate heat from nuclear fission to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity.
