In a BWR the steam that goes to the turbine is radioactive.

My boo-boo---I'm used to PWR's.


How do they handle the radioactivity in the BWR after it goes through the turbine and into the condensate system?

Soundls like a lot of extra shielding and the like (but a lot less corrosion, though)

I still the problems they had with FERMI-1 when I was a kid.

Nice to see that FERMI-2 has a lot better record.
