The volume of heavy water required for a power reactor plant using this moderator has an important influence on investment. Likewise, the cost of leakage justifies extraordinary containment measures. A heat exchanger design is described which satisfies these requirements, as well as those imposed by the radiation field in which the equipment must operate.
