BWR
Boiling Water Reactor: A reactor design where water is allowed to boil in the core. The resulting steam is used to drive a turbine and electrical generator, thereby producing electricity. Decommissioning BWRs has to take account of the radioactivity of the turbines resulting from leakage from fuel elements into the water and thus the steam which is in direct contact with the turbines.
Exposure Pathway
A means by which radiation can reach humans.
