Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)

Type of nuclear reactors operated at a Japanese NPP Fukushima 1 - Boiling Water Reactor (BWR)). In such a reactor, water is used as a coolant. The water pressure in the reactor vessel - about 70 atmospheres, at this pressure water boils at a temperature where 280 C. In case of accidents in a similar type of reactor is a system to pressure compression of steam in the reactor containment. Containment is divided into two sections - the "drywell" - which houses the reactor, and "wetwell" - the chamber with a pool for cooling the steam. If the pressure steam in a "drywell" is greatly increased, the steam enters the pool, where condensation occurs, cooling and cleaning a couple of radioactive aerosols due to rinsing.
In critical situations, to reduce the pressure of the steam released from the chamber with a pool in the building where the reactor i s located. Such measures have been taken at the NPP Fukushima 1. However, hydrogen in the steam exploded in the Units.

Actually, it's pressure SUPPRESSION, not pressure compression pool.
Regardless of that, cool animation and model.
