The main types of nuclear power plant in use in the world, and exclusively in the US are PWR (Pressurised Water Reactor) and BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) types. These use normal water as moderator and enriched uranium fuel. In Canada a heavy water moderated type of reactor has been successfully used and exported to several countries.
In the UK gas cooled reactors have mainly been used, firstly the magnox type and latterly the AGR. Both use carbon dioxide cooling and graphite moderator.
In Russia the RBMK type was developed which combined graphite moderating with water cooling. This type has been largely discontinued after Chernobyl.
High temperature helium cooled reactors and fast reactors liquid metal cooled have been tried as prototypes but not commercially.
