Terminology

(1) BTC: The acronym "BTC" stands for "BWR Operator Training Center." However, we are known as "BTC" by our trainees, customers, and related organizations.

(2) BWR: The acronym "BWR" stands for "Boiling Water Reactor." BWR-type reactors make steam in the reactor vessel with nuclear fission. The steam is then used to drive turbines that are connected to a generator, which produces electricity.

(3) Nuclear Power Plant Operators: Operation of a nuclear power plant takes place in a control room located inside the power plant. Inside the control room, a 24-hour system of operation and supervision takes place by a team of highly qualified operators called a "shift team."
