First Sentence:
Although, at the beginning of nuclear energy deployment, many different reactor systems were proposed and more or less tested, only a few of them became standard in the Western hemisphere: light-water reactors like the PWR (pressurized water reactor) or BWR (boiling water reactor), heavy reactors of the CANDU (Canadian deuterium uranium) type and, finally, the sodium cooled fast-neutron reactors (LMR: liquid metal reactor).
