Pressurized heavy water reactor PHWR

There are various types of nuclear power reactors, including boiling water reactors (BWR) and pressurized water reactors (PLWR or LWR), which are both light-water reactor (LWR) designs and are cooled and moderated by water. There also are pressurized heavy-water reactor (PHWR or HWR) designs.

Radioactive waste treatment applications have been reported [3-9] for the laundry wastes from nuclear power plants and mixed laboratory wastes. Another interesting application of reverse osmosis process is in decontamination of boric acid wastes from pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), which allows for the recovery of boric acid, by using the fact that the latter is relatively undissociated and hence wdl pass with water through the membrane while most of the radioactivity is retained [10]. Reverse osmosis was evaluated for treating fuel storage pool water, and for low-level liquid effluents from reprocessing plants. 

One of the technical problems of ranoval of tritium is its low concentration in technological and waste streams. In heavy water reactor moderator (pressurized heavy water reactor [PHWR]), the ratio of DTO to D2O is 10 , and in water...

The Atomic Energy Establishment was set up at Trombay, near Mumbai, in 1957 and renamed as Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (BARC) ten years later. Plans for building the first Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) were finalized in 1964, and fhis prototype, Rawatbhata-1, which had Canada s Douglas Point reactor as a reference unit, was built as a collaborative venture between Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd and NPCIL. It started up in 1972 and was duplicated. Subsequent indigenous PHWR development has been based on these units. 

Most studies of the time evolution of the fuel cycle and the evolving mix of reactor types during future decades have been based on global (or national) nuclear energy demand scenario analyses which, up to now, have assumed the use of traditional reactor types, such as LWRs, pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), and fast breeder reactors (FBRs). Possible implications of small reactors without on-site refuelling on the transition timing and strategy have not yet been assessed extensively. 

In this paper, the discussion will be restricted to Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) in India.

This appendix provides additional materials (schematics, layouts, T—s diagrams, basic parameters, and photos) on advanced thermal (combined cycle and supercritical pressure Rankine steam turbine cycle) power plants and nuclear power plants with modern nuclear power reactors [pressurized water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs), pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGRs), gas-cooled reactors (OCRs), light water-cooled graphitemoderated reactors (LGRs) (RBMKs and EGPs), and liquid metal fast-breeder reactors (LMFBRs) (BN-600 and BN-800)].

The revision takes account of developments in the design of the RCS and associated systems in nuclear power plants since the earlier Safety Guides were published in 1981 and 1986, respectively. The other objectives of the revision are to ensure consistency with Ref. [1], issued in 2000, and to update the technical content. In addition, an appendix on pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) has been included.
