BWR Type 1 (BWR-1, BWR/1): In 1955 GE developed their original VBWR design into the 197 MW Dresden 1 (6×6, 7×7) reactor, embodying the first iteration of GE's BWR/1 design. Dresden 1 used forced circulation (via external recirculation pumps) and a unique dual cycle (direct+indirect) heat transfer design that proved to be uneconomical.

Table 6.0-1 has been developed to allow comparisons of various BWR functions for the product lines BWR/2 thi'ough BWR/6. The figures in this chapter illustrate most of the more important differences indicated in the tables.

GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s (GEH’s) BWRX-300 is a designed-to-cost 300 MWe water-cooled natural circulation Small Modular Reactor (SMR) utilizing simple natural phenomena-driven safety systems.

Diagram of Boiling Water Reactor BWR Systems. This chapter will discuss the purposes of some of the major systems and components associated with a boiling water reactor (BWR) in the generation of electrical power.

Jan 27, 2025 - GE Vernova announced that it will manufacture BWX Technologies, Inc.’s (BWXT) reactor pressure valve for Ontario Power Generation’s first BWRX-300 small modular reactor at its Darlington New Nuclear Project site.

For more than 60 years, GE and Hitachi have configured and built the world’s safest-operating boiling water reactors (BWRs). With their simple yet sound configuration, GEH has developed most of the BWRs currently operating today. Net power generation range. Countries licensed for operation. Reactors currently operating.

BWR is the abbreviation for the Boiling Water Reactor. These reactors were originally designed by Allis-Chambers and General Electric (GE). The General Electric design has survived, whereas all Allis-Chambers units are now shutdown. The first GE US commercial plant was at Humboldt Bay (near Eureka) in California.

2011年3月19日 · The New York Times published an online story last night and an accompanying graphic about the Mark I boiling water reactor (BWR) containment system used in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The story contains errors and distorts the facts about the technology with misleading comparisons of the BWR design and that of the pressurized ...

2023年1月1日 · GE has developed BWR-1 to BWR-6 by GE’s own technology. In Japan, through the experience of the Improvement and Standardization program of Japan, design, construction and operation of BWR plant, Japan’s technology for BWR improved sharply and the capacity factor of Japan’s BWR has increased steadily.
