Boiling Water Reactor ... In the boiling water reactor the same water loop serves as moderator, coolant for the core, and steam source for the turbine. ... In the boiling water reactor (BWR), the water which passes over the reactor core to act as moderator and coolant is also the steam source for the turbine.
