Difference between Boiler (power generation) and Pressurized water reactor

Boiler (power generation) vs. Pressurized water reactor

A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Pressurized water reactors (PWRs) constitute the large majority of the world's nuclear power plants (notable exceptions being the United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada) and are one of three types of light water reactor (LWR), the other types being boiling water reactors (BWRs) and supercritical water reactors (SCWRs).

Similarities between Boiler (power generation) and Pressurized water reactor

Boiler (power generation) and Pressurized water reactor have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Condenser (heat transfer), Critical point (thermodynamics), Heat exchanger, Nuclear fission, Nuclear power plant, Steam generator (nuclear power), Water.

Condenser (heat transfer)

In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, by cooling it.
