A typical water-cooled reactor would have maybe three times that amount.
The nuclear power plants now operating in the United States are generally water-cooled reactors.
This relatively high coolant temperature allows the new reactor to operate with greater efficiency than water-cooled reactors.
In an water-cooled reactor the action of radiation on the water (radiolysis) forms hydrogen peroxide and oxygen.
The laboratory is powered by a small water-cooled nuclear reactor.
Even so, most currently operating reactors use it in water-cooled reactors.
A water-cooled reactor is generally dwarfed by the cooling systems attached to it.
Much of significant work has been done during the last decades with the development of water-cooled nuclear reactors.
It was eclipsed by newer, water-cooled reactors, and was shut down for good in 1968.
Because of the subsequent decision to construct water-cooled reactors at Hanford, only the chemical separation plant operated as a true pilot.
