8 Super-critical water-cooled reactors

Supercritical water-cooled reactors (SCWRs) are considered as a potential development target of well-established water-cooled reactors, such as pressurized water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs), or pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs). Applying technologies of supercritical fossil-fired power plants, the efficiency of these nuclear power plants can significantly be improved, and the construction costs can even be reduced …
