Two types of steam generators (SGs) are under consideration for next-generation (pressurized) light water reactors (LWRs): a recirculating steam generator (RSG) and a once-through steam generator (OTSG). With the next-generation LWRs still on the drawing board, it is timely to compare the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the two SG types to facilitate optimization of a particular reactor system design. The development of simulation models and a comparison of the two SGs for four transients are described.
