Common classifications include thermal reactors and fast reactors. Thermal reactors, the most prevalent type, use a
Further distinctions are made by the coolant used, such as light water (in Pressurized Water Reactors and
The intended application of a reactor also plays a role in its type. Power reactors are designed
