Difference between Containment building and Magnox

Containment building vs. Magnox

A containment building, in its most common usage, is a reinforced steel or lead structure enclosing a nuclear reactor. Magnox is a type of nuclear power/production reactor that was designed to run on natural uranium with graphite as the moderator and carbon dioxide gas as the heat exchange coolant.

Similarities between Containment building and Magnox

Containment building and Magnox have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Chernobyl disaster, Nuclear power, Nuclear reactor, Pressurized water reactor, Scram, Steam.
