  Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)
BWR is the abbreviation for the Boiling Water Reactor.
The BWR reactor typically allows bulk boiling of the water in the reactor.
The BWR is unique in that the Control Rods, used to shutdown the reactor and maintain an uniform power distribution across the reactor, are inserted from the bottom by a high pressure hydraulically operated system.

  Boiling water reactor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It has many similarities to the pressurized water reactor (PWR), except that in a BWR the steam going to the turbine is produced in the reactor core rather than in a steam generator or heat exchanger.
Like the pressurized water reactor, the BWR reactor core continues to produce heat from radioactive decay after the fission reactions have stopped, making nuclear meltdown possible in the event that all safety systems have failed and the core does not receive coolant.
A modern BWR fuel assembly comprises 74 to 100 fuel rods, and there are up to approximately 800 assemblies in a reactor core, holding up to approximately 140 tonnes of uranium.

The inclusion of parts of Volume 4 was important for a BWR because of the tight interconnection between the reactor and the turbine in this type of plant.
The BWR 90 was originally designed for Nordic climatic conditions, with assumptions on low seismicity and a scarce population in neighbouring areas.
For the BWR 90, early containment venting might lead to dose rates from released noble gases in the near vicinity of the plant in excess of EUR limits.

 5. Shipment Groups
The question arises at storage locations such as Brunswick and Harris, whose pools have sections for storage of BWR and PWR assemblies, and at locations such as Morris, West Valley, and INEL, where BWR, PWR, and (in the case of INEL) HTG assemblies have been shipped for temporary storage.
An example is the BWR assemblies stored in the joined Hatch 1 and 2 spent fuel pools, near the Altamaha River about 75 miles west of Savannah, Georgia.
These pools contain about 900 BWR assemblies of the 8G5 type, about 750 of the 8GP type, and about 1,450 of the 8GB type,13 each of which has been discharged in substantial numbers from both the Hatch 1 and Hatch 2 reactors.

N inventory in a unit mass of coolant is tracked as the coolant flows in the SCWR and BWR primary systems, which are divided into several compartments (e.g., core, lower plenum, downcomer, etc.) of known volume, mass flow rate, and neutron flux.
The values of the neutron flux and (n,p) cross section in the SCWR and BWR cores are calculated by means of full-length radially reflected Monte Carlo eigenvalue models of the SCWR and BWR fuel assemblies.
The calculated BWR values compare well with the trends and ranges found in the literature.

 MPR Associates, Inc. - MPR BWR ECCS Suction Strainer Services
USNRC Bulletin 96-03 requires that operators of Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) evaluate the adequacy of their existing Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) strainers following a postulated pipe break inside the Drywell.
The concern raised in Bulletin 96-03 is that insulation (both fibrous and reflective metal type) and other debris will be transported from the Drywell into the Torus, and will block the strainer openings and reduce the ECCS pumps' NPSH below required.
For further information on the BWR ECCS suction strainer or other engineering services provided by MPR, please contact Caroline Schlaseman, PE or Bill McCurdy, PhD.
