"One of the inherent and proven safety features of CANDU reactors is their ability to cool the reactor through natural circulation"
CANada Deuterium Uranium CANDU
"A Light Water Reactor (LWR) is a type of nuclear reactor that uses ordinary water as both a coolant and a neutron moderator. LWRs are the most common type of thermal-neutron reactor and make up over 80% of the world's nuclear reactors."
Next figure show a simplified CANDU Nuclear Reactor model:
"It should be emphasised that a commercial-type power reactor simply cannot under any circumstances explode like a nuclear bomb – the fuel is not enriched beyond about 5%, and much higher enrichment is needed for explosives."
