Tom H in Pa's link is very good. Wikipedia tends to be very close to the truth too the last I checked. While gasoline is a fuel, so is U235. The different kinds of reactors vary as much as piston engine 2 or 4 stroke, carb, fuel injected or direct injected, gas turbine, steam boiler. Or a jug of gasoline tossed onto a bonfire. Non enriched reactors like the Candu need to be poked in the behind with a sharp stick to get them to even run. Loose the any of the numerous conditions that encourage the chain reaction. The Candu takes a snooze and cools down. Enriched reactors generally need the "brakes applied" to hold them back. No brakes, she runs away. All said the Japanese reactors are going to be mostly embarrassing and expensive. I've never understood why people up to their ears in muddy water. Are surprised it happened after they built in a flood plain.
