The 14 pages that link to Pressurized water reactor, each with the reason it gives.

• Nuclear reactorBroader topic: It is the most widely deployed commercial power-reactor design.

• Nuclear powerBroader topic: This widely used design keeps primary coolant from boiling inside the reactor vessel.

• Nuclear fuel cycleBroader topic: Its uranium fuel requirements shape enrichment levels, assembly design, and refueling practice.

• Nuclear power plantBroader topic: It is the most widely deployed reactor design and separates primary coolant from turbine steam.

• Nuclear submarineRelated: Most naval reactors use this design to produce steam without boiling the primary coolant.

• Nuclear marine propulsionBroader topic: Most naval reactors use this design to transfer core heat while keeping water from boiling.

• Three Mile Island accidentNarrower topic: Unit 2 used this design, whose closed primary loop contained the damaged core.

• Boiling water reactorCompared with: It transfers heat to a separate steam circuit instead of sending reactor steam to the turbine.

• Mixed oxide fuelBroader topic: Many commercial MOX assemblies have been irradiated in pressurized water reactors.

• Molten-salt reactorCompared with: It contrasts with molten-salt designs in coolant, fuel form, and operating pressure.

• Breeder reactorCompared with: This common reactor design is generally a net consumer of fissile material.

• Uranium dioxideBroader topic: Most pressurized water reactors use UO₂ pellets as their fuel.

• Pressurized heavy-water reactorCompared with: It uses ordinary water as both coolant and moderator and typically requires enriched uranium.

• Advanced nuclear reactor technologyCompared with: It is the dominant commercial reactor type and a benchmark for proposed alternatives.
