English: Nuclear reactor: pressurized water type. Water is heated through the splitting of uranium atoms in the reactor core. The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling, produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity.
The core thermal power was 626 MWt. The reactor vessel was rated to 1015 psia and measured 12 feet 2 inches (3.71 m) diameter and 42 feet (13 m) tall. Dresden 1 Nuclear Flow Diagram featured a secondary steam generator for load following. The reactor featured a dual cycle, with steam coming from both the stream drum and steam generators.
The diagram is labeled simply with numbers to be language neutral. Hope this helps! Key: 1 Reactor building; 2 Turbine generator and associated condenser; 3,4,5,6 and 7: various trenches and pipe tunnels
Like most other generation I nuclear reactors, the magnox was designed with the dual purpose of producing electrical power and plutonium-239 for the nascent nuclear weapons programme in Britain. The name refers specifically to the United Kingdom design but is sometimes used generically to refer to any similar reactor.

GE further developed the BWR-1 design with the 70 MW Big Rock Point (9×9, 11×11, 12×12) reactor, which (like all GE BWR models following Dresden 1) used the more economical direct cycle method of heat transfer, but disposed with the external recirculation pumps in favor of natural circulation (an unusual strategy that only the 55 MW ...
TRIGA is a swimming pool reactor that can be installed without a containment building, and is designed for research and testing use by scientific institutions and universities for purposes such as undergraduate and graduate education, private commercial research, non-destructive testing and isotope production.
