    English: Video diagram detailing the inner workings of a 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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BWRX-300

    The BWRX-300 is a smaller evolution of an earlier GE Hitachi reactor design, note the Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) design and utilizing components of the operational Advanced boiling water reactor (ABWR) reactor. [1] Boiling water reactors are nuclear technology that use ordinary light water as a nuclear reactor coolant ...

    The facility is approximately 30 miles (48 km) east of San Francisco, under jurisdiction of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Region IV. [2] The Vallecitos boiling water reactor (VBWR) was the first privately owned and operated nuclear power plant to deliver significant quantities of electricity to a public utility grid. During the period ...

    ESBWR safety systems are designed to operate normally in the event of station blackout, which prevented proper functioning of the emergency core cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Below the vessel, there is a piping structure (core catcher) that allows for cooling of the core during any very severe accident.

    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.
