Advanced Nuclear Reactors - What Are the Pitfalls?

Nuclear reactors built in the 1970s are known as light water reactors because they use what's essentially regular everyday water as the moderator for the nuclear chain reaction. There are some newer and better designs known as heavy water reactors, molten salt cooled reactors and liquid fuel molten salt reactors. Researchers who are interested to learn the function of a moderator in a nuclear vision can refer to the resources that Mark discussed at the beginning of this interview which are linked in your research round up email.
