This chapter presents designs for different fission reactor types including production reactors, graphite reactors (magnox reactors, advanced gas reactors, high-power channel reactors (RBMK), and high-temperature gas reactors), light-water reactors (pressurised-water reactors (PWR) and boiling-water reactors), heavy-water reactors (the Canadian deuterium uranium reactor (CANDU reactor), pressurised heavy-water reactors, and steam-generating heavy-water reactors), fast breeder reactors (Superphenix), and new generations of fission reactors.
