For an electrical output of say 1000 MWe, the reactor output will be about 3000 MW thermal.
A reactor vessel in a boiling water reactor is approximately 300 tons.
the boiling water reactor, pressurized water reactor, and the LMFB reactor
Different types of nuclear plants: Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR); Boiling Water Reactor (BWR); Heavy Water Moderated Reactor (CANDU); Advanced Gascooled Reactor (AGR); Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR); Pebble Bed Gascooled Reactor; Water Cooled Graphite Reactor (RBMK). There are other ideas that only exist on paper.
Reactor is used for distilling water in thermal power plants.
PWR = pressurised water reactor. BWR = boiling water reactor
Richard T. Lahey has written: 'The thermal-hydraulics of a boiling water nuclear reactor' -- subject(s): Boiling water reactors, Fluid dynamics, Heat, Nuclear reactors, Transmission
The efficiency of a PWR or BWR reactor power plant is about 33 percent, so this means that about 67 percent of the reactor's thermal output is rejected to the cooling water
Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR), Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)
Steam
please help
Light water nuclear plants like PWR and BWR have efficiency of about 33 percent, that is the ratio of electric output to reactor thermal output. Gas cooled reactors can be up to 40 percent as they work at higher temperature.
