    The schematic diagram shows the primary heavy water loop in yellow and orange circulating pressurized heavy water through the reactor core and steam generators. A secondary light water loop in blue and red circulates light water through the steam generators and to the turbines. The reactor core is surrounded by a tank of heavy water moderator and partially inserted control rods. Key components include the fuel bundles, calandria, adjuster rods, pressure tubes, steam generators, pumps, and containment building.

    Schematic Diagram of a CANDU reactor: 

    The primary heavy-water loop is in yellow and orange, the secondary light-water loop in blue and

    red. The cool heavy water moderator in the calandria can be seen in pink, along with partially inserted adjuster rods.

    5 Steam generator 12 Cold water returning from turbine
    6 Light water pump 13 Containment building made of reinforced concrete

    7 Heavy water pump

    The CANDU reactor is similar to most light water reactors: Fission reactions in the reactor core heat
