An Organic nuclear reactor or Organic-cooled reactor (OCR) is a class of nuclear reactor in which the primary coolant or neutron moderator is an organic fluid. Organic coolants have several advantages over light water, including low-pressure operation, decreased corrosion, however they suffer from flammability and degradation under neutron bombardment.
