Indian Point Pressurized-Water Reactor (PWR) Nile Mile Point R.E. Ginna (Ginna, or In a typical commercial pressurized light-water reactor (1) Robert E. Ginna) the reactor core generates heat, (2) pressurized-water in North Carolina Brunswick the primary coolant loop carries the heat to the steam McGuire generator, (3) inside the steam generator heat from the Shearon-Harris(Harris) primary coolant loop vaporizes the water in a secondary Ohio Davis-Besse loop producing steam, (4) the steam line directs the steam to the main turbine causing it to turn the turbine Perry generator, which produces electricity. The unused steam Pennsylvania Beaver Valley is exhausted to the condenser where it is condensed into Limerick water. The resulting water is pumped out of the Peach Bottom condenser with a series of pumps, reheated, and Susquehanna pumped back to the steam generator. The reactors core Three Mile Island contains fuel assemblies which are cooled by water, which is force-circulated by electrically powered pumps. South Carolina Catawba Emergency cooling water is supplied by other pumps, H.B. Robinson which can be powered by onsite diesel generators. Other Oconee safety systems, such as the containment cooling system, Virgil C. Summer also need power. (Summer)

© U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Containment: According to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, unit 3 is has dry, ambient pressure.1
1 Dry, Ambient Pressure: a reactor containment design whose safety has been evaluated on the basis of having a dry air atmosphere at ambient pressure (0 psig) prior to the onset of a loss of coolant accident or steam pipe break. The containment design (concrete and steel tendons) must be able to take the full thermal and pressure stresses associated with the rapid energy release (steam) from a major pipe break.
Sources for Data in Table: Capacity, for purposes of this report, is the net summer capability as reported in Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form EIA-860, "Annual Electric Generator Report." Capacity Factor is a percentage calculation in which the maximum possible generation (based on net summer capability) is divided into the actual generation then multiplied by 100. Generation is the net electricity output reported by plant owners on Form EIA-906, Power Plant Report. Type of Unit: All U.S. commercial reactors currently in operation are one of two types: BWR (boiling water reactor) or PWR (pressurized light water reactor). The type, on-line date, and the license expiration date are published annually in Information Digest by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
