How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16492846 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Boiling water reactor
A boiling water reactor is a type of light-water nuclear reactor in which the reactor core directly heats water to produce steam that drives the electricity-generating turbine.
-
B.
Pressurised water reactor
A pressurised water reactor is a type of nuclear fission reactor that uses high-pressure water as both coolant and neutron moderator to generate heat for producing electricity or naval propulsion.
-
C.
S2W nuclear reactor
The S2W nuclear reactor was an early U.S. Navy pressurized water reactor design that powered the world’s first operational nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus.
-
D.
K-West Reactor
K-West Reactor is one of the plutonium production reactors at the Hanford Site in Washington State, historically used to support the U.S. nuclear weapons program.
-
E.
PM-3A nuclear reactor
The PM-3A nuclear reactor was a small U.S. Navy-built nuclear power plant that supplied electricity and heat to McMurdo Station in Antarctica during the 1960s and early 1970s.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
