Bylin watter reactor

The bylin watter reactor (BWR) is a kynd o licht watter nuclear reactor uised for the generation o electrical pouer. It is the seicont maist common kynd o electricity-generatin nuclear reactor efter the preasurised watter reactor (PWR); it is kynd o licht watter nuclear reactor an aa. The main differ atween a BWR an a PWR is that in a BWR, the reactor core heats watter, whilk turns intae staem an syne drives a steam turbine. In a PWR, the reactor core heats watter, whilk disnae byle. This het watter syne exchanges heat wi a licther pressure watter sýstem, whilk turns intae staem an drives the turbine. The BWR wis developit bi the Idaho National Laboratory an General Electric (GE) in the mid-1950s. The main manufacturer thir days is GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, whilk specialises in the design an construction o this kynd o reactor.
