BWR Type 2 (BWR-2, BWR/2): Introduced in 1963, >500 MW e, typically around 650 MW e gross (Oyster Creek, Nine Mile Point 1). [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Included a large direct cycle. 5 recirculation loops, variable speed external recirculation pumps (one pump per loop, each pump's flow rate could be varied from 6,400 to 32,000 US gallons per minute (0.40 to 2 ...
Slightly different versions of the ABWR are offered by GE-Hitachi, Hitachi-GE, and Toshiba. [5]In 1997 the GE-Hitachi U.S. ABWR design was certified as a final design in final form by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, meaning that its performance, efficiency, output, and safety have already been verified, making it bureaucratically easier to build it rather than a non-certified design.
