  2. GE BWR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_BWR

    Schematic GE BWR inside a Mark I containment. General Electric's BWR product line of boiling water reactors represents the designs of a relatively large (~18%) [1] percentage of the commercial fission reactors around the world. The progenitor of the BWR line was the 5 MW Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor (VBWR), brought online in October 1957.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor...

    The Reactor Protection System (RPS) is a system, computerized in later BWR models, that is designed to automatically, rapidly, and completely shut down and make safe the Nuclear Steam Supply System (NSSS – the reactor pressure vessel, pumps, and water/steam piping within the containment) if some event occurs that could result in the reactor entering an unsafe operating condition.

  4. Boiling water reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor

    A boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of nuclear reactor used for the generation of electrical power. It is the second most common type of electricity-generating nuclear reactor after the pressurized water reactor (PWR). BWR are thermal neutron reactors, where water is thus used both as a coolant and as a moderator, slowing down

    Unit 3 is a 1,260 MWe net BWR/4 built by General Electric that originally came online on August 18, 1976 with a capacity of 1,105 MWe net, and is licensed to operate through July 2, 2036. Unit 3 returned to service in 1995 after all three units were shut down in 1985 for maintenance and repairs. [ 20 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresden_Generating_Station

    The BWR at GE's Vallecitos Nuclear Center and the AEC's BORAX experiments provided research data and operator training for Dresden. The core contained 488 fuel subassemblies, 80 control rods, and 8 instrument nozzles. Each subassembly contained 36 fuel rods in a Zircaloy-2 channel. The fuel was uranium dioxide clad in Zircaloy-2 tube. The core ...
