RBMK Reactor

#stub It is a soviet designed nuclear reactor that uses enriched uranium, with graphite as a moderator, and Light WaterLight WaterLight water, although appearing to have a fancy name, is literally just ordinary water....except it does contain a small amount of Heavy Water. The point of light water is that it can be used as a moderator --however it can only be used in certain situations, as it absorbs too many neutrons to be used with unenriched uranium (which is why light water is presumably used in Spent Fuel Pools) Light water is mainly used in BWR reactors & PWR reactors Uranium Enrichment is necessary for the usage of as a coolant.
