[PAR] [TLE] Idaho National Laboratory [SEP] Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is one of the national laboratories of the United States Department of Energy and is managed by the Battelle Energy Alliance.  While the laboratory does other research, historically it has been involved with nuclear research.  Much of current knowledge about how nuclear reactors behave and misbehave was discovered at what is now Idaho National Laboratory.  John Grossenbacher, former INL director, said, "The history of nuclear energy for peaceful application has principally been written in Idaho". [PAR] [TLE] Boiling water reactor [SEP] The boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of light water nuclear reactor used for the generation of electrical power.  It is the second most common type of electricity-generating nuclear reactor after the pressurized water reactor (PWR), also a type of light water nuclear reactor.  The main difference between a BWR and PWR is that in a BWR, the reactor core heats water, which turns to steam and then drives a steam turbine.  In a PWR, the reactor core heats water, which does not boil.  This hot water then exchanges heat with a lower pressure water system, which turns to steam and drives the turbine.  The BWR was developed by the Idaho National Laboratory and General Electric (GE) in the mid-1950s.  The main present manufacturer is GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, which specializes in the design and construction of this type of reactor.
