Top 3 MOST Popular Nuclear Reactor Types Worldwide

Out of the 440 Nuclear power reactors operating world wide, there are three designs that are most popular. The PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor), BWR (Boiling Water Reactor) and the CANDU (Canadian Deuterium Nuclear Reactor). In this video, I'll be deep diving into the basic features of these reactors and explaining both their differences and similarities. What sets them apart and where can you find them across the world? ⏰TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - 440 Reactors, 10% of the worlds electricity 01:03 - Nuclear Power Reactor Simplified 01:51 - Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) 02:12 - PWR Reactor Core Explained 02:34 - PWR Reactor fuel Assemblies 03:07 - Natural vs Enriched uranium 03:36 - Fueling a PWR 03:53 - Why is a PWR reactor pressurized? 04:37 - Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) 04:43 - BWR Reactor Core Explained 05:15 - Why BWR Reactors don't use Steam Generators 05:58 - Fueling a BWR Reactor 06:55 - Canadian Deuterium Nuclear Reactor (CANDU/PWHR) 07:07 - CANDU Reactor Vessel (Calandria) 07:43 - Fueling a CANDU Reactor 09:06 - PWR versus PWHR/CANDU 09:29 - Conclusion 🙋🏾‍♂️WHO AM I: I'm Osama, I have a background in Nuclear Engineering and work in Toronto, On my channel I help demystify nuclear technologies by simplifying them 📨GET IN TOUCH (Want to collab?)
