Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR)

The Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) is a type of nuclear power plant that generates electricity by using nuclear reactions to produce heat, which turns water into steam directly inside the reactor. This steam drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity. The ESBWR is designed to be safer and more efficient, with fewer moving parts and passive safety features that rely on natural processes like gravity and convection to shut down safely during emergencies. Its simplified design reduces costs, improves reliability, and enhances safety, making it an advanced option for clean, nuclear energy production.
