What is the difference between a pressurized water reactor and a boiling water reactor?
A boiling water reactor does not boil the water
A pressurized water reactor boils the water faster
A pressurized water reactor is heated directly by the core
A pressurized water reactor does not use fission
A pressurized water reactor does not boil the water!
Explanation:
There are different type of nuclear power plants, that are used to generate electricity other than the water ,wind and solar electricity generation.
The nuclear power plants use uranium as fuel that heat the water and the steam generated runs the turbine
The most common type of nuclear power reactors are :-
The pressurized water reactor
It heats boils the water to ane extreme temprature but it doesnt boil it that water due to the great amount of pressure it is under
The boiling water reactor
the nuclear fission reaction of uranium generates great amount of enegery that is absorbed by the water and it starts to boil , the steam generated runs the turbines
