AGR An advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) is a type of nuclear reactor. The second generation of British gas-cooled reactors, using graphite as the neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as a coolant.   [..]

BWR Boiling light water cooled and moderated reactor. In a BWR, the reactor core heats water, which turns to steam and then drives a steam turbine.  

CF Capacity factor: The actual energy output of an electricity-generating device divided by the energy output that would be produced if it operated at its rated power output (Reference Unit Power) for [..]

In PRIS a commercial operation of a reactor is from its Commercial Date. A period from the first grid connection to the Commercial Date is called 'trial operation'. Performance Indicat [..]

FBR Fast neutron reactors use fast neutrons to cause fission in their fuel. They do not have a neutron moderator, and use less-moderating coolants  

GW The gigawatt is equal to one billion (10^9) watts or 1 gigawatt = 1000 megawatts. In the electric power industry, gigawatt electrical (abbreviation: GWe or GW(e) is a term that refers to electric p [..]

GWh A gigawatt hour (GWh or GW.h) is a unit of electrical energy equal to 1000 megawatt hours (MWh) and equal to one billion (10^9) watt hours, 3.6 terajoules, or 3.41 billion British thermal units (B [..]

LF Load Factor, also called Capacity Factor, for a given period, is the ratio of the energy which the power reactor unit has produced over that period divided by the energy it would have produced at i [..]

MW The megawatt is equal to one million (10^6) watts. In the electric power industry, megawatt electrical (abbreviation: MWe or MW(e) is a term that refers to electric power, while megawatt thermal or [..]

MWh A megawatt hour (MWh or MW.h) is equal to 1000 kilowatt hours (KWh). It is an energy equal to 1000 kilowatts of electricity used continuously for one hour.
