The Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) is a type of nuclear reactor used in nuclear power plants. It is a light water reactor, meaning it uses ordinary water as a coolant and neutron moderator. The BWR is the second most common type of nuclear reactor in the world, after the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). It is used in many countries, including the United States, Japan, and Germany. The BWR is a simpler design than the PWR, and is more efficient in terms of fuel utilization. It also has a smaller core size, which makes it easier to construct and maintain. However, it is more prone to accidents due to its reliance on natural circulation. The BWR market is highly competitive, with many companies offering their own designs and technologies. Some of the major players in the market include GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Toshiba, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Areva. Show Less Read more
