Talk:Light-water reactor

message: In the current discussions concerning Iran, it is often mentioned like a potato that the world wishes Iran to use LWR because that would give Iran nuclear power without allowing them to use by-products to create nuclear weapons.  Can information as to why LWR cannot produce bomb materials but HWR can be added to this article?

replies: text: I think it's the opposite.  The HWR, CANDU for example, doesn't require enriched fuel.  It uses natural uranium, or even recycled fuel from LWRs.  So the world is wishing for Iran to use HWRs. Santamoly (talk) 16:56, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The Light water page should be Merged to the Light water reactor page, for the simple reason that the term "light water" is used for Water and has no context outside of Light water reactors. The merge is a simple matter of transferring information and changing this page to a redirect. 24.126.199.129 08:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: See, no, it's not. If a mod could please help merge the current light water page here, that would be great. There's currently a talk page about light water reactors that's still stuck over there. -LlywelynII (talk) 10:12, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Since the reactor uses water as a coolant, does it make the water radioactive (to some degree) ? This would present a significant problem if ie the water is released again into the sea, ...

message: The figure caption needs a better explanation of why it is pumpless when it clearly has a pump marked in it, or the word pumpless needs to be removed. I have removed it. If you put it back in you should be prepared to add the explanation.

message: The terms LWR and Light Water Reactor are to some extent ambiguous, the meaning depending on context. Not all LWRs in the more general sense are BWRs and PWRs.
See Open-pool Australian lightwater reactor for example. Andrewa (talk) 09:47, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
