BWR Mark II

The BWR Mark II is an early design of a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), a type of nuclear power plant used to generate electricity. In this system, water is used as both the coolant and the neutron moderator. The reactor core heats the water until it boils, producing steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The Mark II design features improvements over earlier models in safety and efficiency, incorporating robust containment structures and control systems. It was among the main designs used in the 1960s and 1970s, laying the foundation for modern boiling water reactors.
