Detailed explanation-1: -12. Which of the following types of nuclear reactors is most prone to radioactive hazards? Explanation: Boiling water reactor is the most prone to radioactive hazards.
Detailed explanation-2: -Two Types of Reactors in the United States The nuclear reactors currently operating in the United States are either boiling water reactors or pressurized water reactors. The names can be a bit misleading: Both use steam to power a generator, but the difference is how they create it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Boiling Water Reactor The disadvantage of this is that any fuel leak might make the water radioactive and that radioactivity would reach the turbine and the rest of the loop. A typical operating pressure for such reactors is about 70 atmospheres at which pressure the water boils at about 285¡C.
Detailed explanation-4: -Detailed Solution. The correct answer is Nuclear Reactor.
