As part of the Heavy Water Reactor Program Office effort to define the "state-of-the-art" in heavy water moderated reactors a survey of reactor designs and design studies was undertaken. This survey includes: 1. A list and descriptions of the heavy water moderated power reactors either operating or under construction; 2. A list and description of the more recent design studies done no heavy water moderated reactors, with the exception of reactors using organic coolant; 3. A discussion of the various reactor types, as determined by type of coolant, indicating development trends; 4. A discussion of various design features or characteristics that many heavy water reactors have in common, such as pressure tubes, on-line refueling, and D2O loss rates.

Desalination in Nuclear Power Plants presents the latest research on a variety of nuclear desalination techniques for different nuclear reactor systems; it includes also several aspects regarding competitiveness, sustainability, safety, and licensing process. Authors Alonso, del Valle, and Ramirez explore the possibilities of the cogeneration of water and electricity using a nuclear reactor. This book consolidates the latest research to provide readers with a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the thermal, membrane, and hybrid desalination processes, along with a comprehensive methodology to guide the reader on how to perform levelized cost analyses for water and electricity. The conditions for the coupling of nuclear reactors and desalination plants are presented, and techniques to maximize water and energy production and to reduce their corresponding costs are provided. Mathematical modeling techniques for different components of the power plant are also included based on mass and energy state equations, as well as different steam currents alternatives for coupling along with a proposed method for their evaluation.
