Review: This technical report discusses the characteristics of heavy water reactors (HWRs), providing the basics of the technology for use by specialists in countries that are considering nuclear programmes, as well as providing a reference for those already working in the field. The main emphasis of the report is on the economics, safety and fuel sustainability of using HWRs. It also looks at HWR fuel cycles options; environmental considerations, such as radioactive releases; and the future hope for improved economics, enhanced safety and sustainable development.
