Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR)

The Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR) is a type of nuclear reactor designed to use heavy water as a coolant and moderator, which helps sustain nuclear fission reactions. This technology allows it to utilize natural uranium or thorium, making fuel usage more efficient and sustainable. The AHWR features enhanced safety systems and aims to minimize nuclear waste. It is designed to support India's nuclear energy goals while addressing environmental concerns and energy security. Overall, the AHWR represents a step toward more advanced and safer nuclear power generation.
