Except that they are boiling water vs pressurized water. I am interested to know if there were design flaws.
What Are the Design Flaws in Boiling Water vs. Pressurized Water Reactors?
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the design flaws inherent in Boiling Water Reactors (BWR) compared to Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). Participants emphasize the need to investigate specific reactor designs, particularly the Mark 1 Nuclear Reactor, which is highlighted as a case study for understanding potential vulnerabilities. The conversation suggests that examining these design flaws can lead to improved safety measures in nuclear reactor technology.
