A typical operating pressure for such reactors is about 70 atmospheres at which pressure the water boils at about 285¡C. This operating temperature gives a Carnot efficiency of only 42% with a practical operating efficiency of around 32%, somewhat less than the PWR.

Most nuclear electricity is generated with two different types of nuclear reactors evolved from 1950 designs, namely the boiling water reactor (BWR) and the pressurized water reactor (PWR). The fuel for these types of reactors is similar, consisting of long bundles of 2 to 4 percent enriched uranium dioxide fuel...

Magnox reactors are a British design. Only two Magnox stations were sold abroad - one to Japan and one to Italy. The first one was built at Calder Hall, next to Sellafield, and opened by the Queen on 17th October 1956. As with most nuclear reactors they are fuelled by uranium.

The most significant use of nuclear reactors is as an energy source for the generation of electrical power (see Nuclear power) and for the power in some ships (see Nuclear marine propulsion). This is usually accomplished by methods that involve using ... The key components common to most types of nuclear power plants are:
