Types of nuclear reactors.
As indicated under history, nuclear power stations are divided into 4 generations. Power stations currently under construction belong to the 3rd generation. The first generation were prototypes from the 1950s and 1960s, the second generation were commercial power stations that were built until the end of the last century. This means that the Borssele nuclear power station belongs to the second generation. The third generation is not extremely different to the 2nd, but it does include a number of improvements in the field of safety, reliability and cost price of electricity generation. A lot of research is being performed globally with regard to the fourth generation. This involves truly new concepts, in which the entire nuclear fuel cycle is included (recycling of waste, more effective use of uranium, etc.).
The third generation mainly concerns light water reactors (LWR). Almost 80% of all reactors currently operational are of this type. Normal water is used here as neutron moderator and transfers the heat from the nuclear reaction to the turbines that generate the electricity. The most important difference is the one between pressurised and boiling water reactors, the first type of which is found more often (58%). 21% of all nuclear reactors are boiling water reactors.
Compared to light water reactors, the design of the helium-cooled Pebble Bed reactors is much more innovative. These are also called the III+ generation. In this type of reactor the uranium nuclear fuel is not contained in rods but in pebbles: spheres the size of tennis balls. Helium is used as a coolant instead of water. The reactor is operated at high temperatures (depending on the type up to around 900°C) and the hot helium gas is used to drive the turbines directly. This design has a much higher efficiency than that of water-cooled reactors: around 41% instead of 34%. In addition to this, these reactors are inherently safe. The pebbles can withstand temperatures of up to 1600°C.
Several years ago, an international committee selected six reactor types for further research. In addition to the VHTR, the SCWR (Super Critical Water Cooled Reactor) is being developed, which should provide a very high efficiency for electricity production. The reactor is cooled by water at extremely high pressures and a temperature of 550°C. Work is also underway on the MSR – Molten Salt Reactor – whereby the reactor core itself circulates, which operates at a high temperature (700°C) and therefore has a high generation efficiency.
