What is the meaning of You can't put too much water in a nuclear reactor?

I have not heard that one. For any design the water capacity is fixed by the size of the vessel and the external circuit. I suppose it may mean that when designing the plant it is best to have more volume available for the primary circuit than the minimum possible, so that there is more thermal capacity to absorb heat in some accident conditions. You are unlikely to want to build more volume into the pressure vessel itself as it would be expensive to do so. The above saying would also tie in with providing more primary/secondary loops, ie four instead of three, to provide better redundancy........ Or maybe it is a phrase from an old Saturday Night Live skit about some unqualified people left in charge of a nuclear reactor after being given the advice "Just remember, You can't put too much water in a nuclear reactor". (The joke is that they debate the two opposite meanings of the phrase).

In C plus plus what is the meaning of cant?
It has no meaning in C++. The name "cant" is undefined and there is no "std::cant" name defined by the C++ standard library. It's most-likely a user-defined name, but without seeing the definition or context in which it used it's impossible to say what its meaning is. In all likelihood it's a constant Boolean value, where can is true and cant is false (or vice versa depending on the logic of its usage).

Why cant homeowners use thorium to use as energy to power up individual homes and stay off the power grid?
Thorium is not a fissile material; and also is dangerous and expensive to have a nuclear reactor in each home.
When Japanese Official Yukio Edano said that there is 'a partial meltown' at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima - what does that mean?
it means there is a melt down on one part of the nuclear plant.. and that radiation cant exactly spread a huge area because it is only one part of the reactor that is failing. i hope this helped.
