The PHWR reactors (pressurized heavy water reactors), the latter currently considered as standard. Use as a moderator and heat transfer, heavy water as coolant, ordinary water (light water). As fuel, use common uranium.

    The key D2O, should only be activated if the DEUT level is below the connectors of the fuel rods (FILT), or to decrease the temperature faster when the reactor is shut down.

    After a while, the reactor fills with duet and the heat exchange cannot function.

    Thanks for the explanation, atomic2385

    also, 'common' uranium, surely you mean low-enriched uranium, which is used as reactor fuel

    D2O is actually H2O. deuterium is chemically identical to hydrogen, so the chemical formula doesnt change. it is the physical properties (the extra neutron) that make deuterium different to 'ordinary' hydrogen

    D2O is the chemical formula of deuterium oxide or heavy water, DEUT in TPT.

    If anyone has an idea for improving the operation and make it more realistic, I thank.
