A CANDU reactor uses

A CANDU reactor uses

1. Enriched uranium as fuel and ordinary water as moderator and cooler
2. Highly enriched uranium as fuel and water as moderator and coolant
3. Natural uranium as fuel and heavy water as moderator and coolant
4. Only fertile materials

Correct answer: 3. Natural uranium as fuel and heavy water as moderator and coolant

The word CANDU is an abbreviation for Canadian Deuterium uranium.

A CANDU reactor uses heavy water composed of the heavy hydrogen isotope as moderator to have maximum neutron economy and as a coolant as well.
