They don't. BWR's run wet saturated steam. There is no superheating in a BWR, because there is no way steam would come in contact with a heat source. The plant must be built to be compatible with wet steam that could condense.

When boiler use cyclone separator and why?
for the purpose of water-steam separation. High efficiency separation is very important in order to: - prevent water droplet carryover into the superheater, where serious thermal damage can occur. - prevent the carryover of solids entrained in water droplets into the superheater and turbine blading, where deposits may form, which are difficult to remove. These deposits end up reducing turbine efficiency and causing superheater tube temperature increases, distortion or even burnout.
What are the advantages of enriched uranium?
It could be used with light water reactors.
Water is heated and changed to STEAM?
That is called boiling. And it is something you can see and observe, but it is something tht is chemically relted and so it is a chemical change.
What is the difference between a calorifier and a chlorifier?
A calorifier is a sealed tank, which heats water indirectly. Usually in the form of a heated coil which is immersed in the water. Commonly known as a hot water tank. A chlorifier is a water tank in which the water is heated via an external source.
Which material is used as a cladding material in nuclear reactor?
Fuel pellets are typically clad in Zircalloy, if that was your question. Especially in water cooled reactors.

When a liquid is heated and turns into water vapors?
when liquid is heated it turns into water vapor,this is called boiling point
how does heat reach water in a saucepan that is on a heated stove?
by boiling
What is produced when water is heated to its boiling point?
steam, which is a water form of a gas
Name type of power plants in the US?
Majority are Pressurised Water Reactors (PWR) with also some Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). You can find locations from the NRC website www.nrc.gov
What type of reactor uses fission to produce energy?
There are two primary design styles of fission reactors to produce electricity. Pressurized, and Boiling water reactors.
What temperature is nuclear reactor?
This is different in different reactor designs:boiling water reactors operate at the boiling temperature of water (100C)pressurized water reactors operate at over 300Cseveral types of very high temperature gas cooled reactors can operate at temperatures up to 1000C
What will give off steam after heated?
Steam comes from boiling water.
What happens to water when it is heated to its boiling point?
It bubbles up dummy.
