But the water has a tendency water in the core heats the secondary loop of water which turns Glossary to steal the neutrons needed to sustain the chain reaction and into steam. [...] Whereas current BWRs have pumps and (ARDP) associated piping outside the reactor vessel, the BWRX-300 has GE-Hitachi has submitted to the NRC numerous “topical all major components inside the reactor vessel, eliminating the reports,” analyses of various parts of the design that are building possibility of leaking coolant outside the reactor. [...] The reactor also derives energy Cooled Reactors Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (ARDP) Gas-Cooled Fast Reactors Fast reactors also offer the potential of higher uranium utilization, meaning that more of the Micro-Reactors Glossary uranium in the fuel is fissioned, or split, to make energy, and less is left in the fuel when it is removed from the reactor. [...] The reactor will use of directly to the turbine-generator also insulates the reactor Micro-Reactors metallic fuel rods, an alloy of zirconium, and uranium, which sits from brief anomalies on the grid or in the generator, which in in a pool of liquid sodium. [...] Control of the reaction the core module includes the structural, non-fuel elements of is achieved in part by the shape of the container that holds the the core, which otherwise would have to be inspected every fuel.
