How Many Types Of Boiling Water Reactor Cycles Are There?
There are three different types of BWR cycles commonly used: Single cycle internal circulation: This system uses internal recirculation system to generate power ranging from 50- 100 MW. Single cycle forced circulation: This type uses a forced circulation system using a circulation system using a circulating pump. The heat in the reactor is used to generate steam. Dual cycle forced circulation: this arrangement has two cycles, steam cycle and gas cycle.
