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.

English: Schematic diagram of the pressurised heavy water cooled version of a CANDU (CANada Deuterium-Uranium) nuclear reactor. - The pressurized heavy water (PHW) cooled version was the first type to be developed and is by far the most widely used.
Example of a molten-salt reactor scheme. A molten-salt reactor (MSR) is a class of nuclear fission reactor in which the primary nuclear reactor coolant and/or the fuel is a mixture of molten salt with a fissile material. Two research MSRs operated in the United States in the mid-20th century.
Schematic diagram of an RBMK Schematic side view of the layout of an RBMK reactor core The reactor hall and piping systems of the RBMK reactor. The reactor pit or vault is made of reinforced concrete and has dimensions 21.6 m × 21.6 m × 25.5 m. It houses the vessel of the reactor, which is annular, made of an inner and outer cylindrical wall ...
The reactor buildings of Bradwell magnox nuclear power station. The magnox reactors were considered at the time to have a considerable degree of inherent safety because of their simple design, low power density, and gas coolant. Because of this they were not provided with secondary containment features. A safety design principle at the time was ...
