Fission reactors cooled and moderated by ordinary or heavy water, including pressurized water reactors, boiling water reactors and the CANDU, and the third generation designs built on them such as the EPR, ABWR, ESBWR, Hualong One and CAP1400. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes such a water reactor. These are the most widely built power reactors, using water as both coolant and moderator, either ordinary light water or heavy water containing deuterium, and the newer designs listed here add passive safety and larger output. A reactor is placed here by the water reactor design the cited article describes.
