Best Answer

One type (model) of reactor is the CANDU, or Canada (CAN) dueterium-uranium (DU)reactor.

Ther are also differences between fusion and fission reactors, fast and thermal reactors (the differences bing in the speed of the neutrons used to initiate the chain reaction, usually fission), light or heavy water cooled or moderated reactors, and many other distinctions.
