This power can be used for industrial and residential purposes. The leftover water from the main condenser is recycled back to the stem generator. [1] Although the reactor has some disadvantages, it makes up for its deficits in the fact that it is a safe and reliable reactor.

Is PWR or BWR safer?

Since the fluid is maintained at high pressure, so the PWR core volume is less. For the same power generation, core volume of the BWR is comparatively larger. Since the working fluid loop is separated from the primary loop, so PWR is less risky in spreading of radioactive materials owing to leakage.

What are the dangers with reactors?

The main safety concern has always been the possibility of an uncontrolled release of radioactive material, leading to contamination and consequent radiation exposure off-site. Earlier assumptions were that this would be likely in the event of a major loss of cooling accident (LOCA) which resulted in a core melt.
