It's an alphabet soup, but somebody's gotta break it down.
Join us in this exciting episode of 'After Pop! A Breakdown of Nuclear Reactor Types,' with your host Danielle. We'll explore the fascinating world of nuclear reactors, learning how they work and discussing various types like Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs), Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs), Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), Micro Reactors, and Advanced Reactors including Molten Salt Reactors.
Discover the benefits, safety measures, and future potentials of each type. Stick around as we delve deeper into nuclear energy's role in powering our world, its safety, sustainability, and the innovative designs on the horizon.
