What is a BWR?
Career: Bwr
BWR stands for Boiling Water Reactor, which is a type of nuclear reactor used to generate electricity. In a BWR, water acts as both the coolant and the moderator, and it boils inside the reactor core to produce steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine that generates electricity. BWRs are one of the two most common types of light water reactors worldwide, the other being Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Operators and engineers who work with BWRs are responsible for their safe and efficient operation, maintenance, and regulation.
