Muri Reta zunzubumwe zamerika, bibiri bya gatatu bya reakteri ni reakteri y’amazi (PWR) naho ibindi ni amazi abira (BWR).Mu gikoresho cy’amazi abira, cyerekanwe hejuru, amazi yemerewe gutekwa mu cyuka, hanyuma akoherezwa binyuze muri turbine kugirango itange amashanyarazi.
Mu byuma byamazi byamazi, amazi yibanze afatwa nigitutu kandi ntiyemerewe guteka.Ubushyuhe bwimurirwa mumazi hanze yimbere hamwe noguhindura ubushyuhe (nanone bita generator yamashanyarazi), guteka amazi yo hanze, kubyara umwuka, no gukoresha turbine.Mu byuma byamazi byamazi, amazi yatetse aratandukanye nuburyo bwo gusohora, bityo ntibahinduka radio.
Iyo parike imaze gukoreshwa mu guha ingufu turbine, irakonja kugirango isubirane mumazi.Ibimera bimwe bikoresha amazi ava mumigezi, ibiyaga cyangwa inyanja kugirango akonje, mugihe ibindi bikoresha iminara miremire ikonje.Iminara imeze nk'isaha yo gukonjesha ni ikimenyetso kimenyerewe mu bimera byinshi bya kirimbuzi.Kuri buri gice cy'amashanyarazi cyakozwe n’uruganda rukora ingufu za kirimbuzi, ibice bibiri by’ubushyuhe bw’imyanda byangwa ku bidukikije.
Uruganda rukora ingufu za kirimbuzi rufite ubucuruzi buva kuri megawatt 60 ku gisekuru cya mbere cy’ibimera mu ntangiriro ya za 1960, kugeza kuri megawatt zirenga 1000.Ibimera byinshi birimo reaction zirenze imwe.Uruganda rwa Palo Verde muri Arizona, rugizwe na reakteri eshatu zitandukanye, buri kimwe gifite megawatt 1,334.
Ibishushanyo mbonera by'amahanga bimwe bikoresha ibicurane bitari amazi kugirango bitware ubushyuhe bwa fonction kure.Imashini za Kanada zikoresha amazi yuzuye deuterium (bita "amazi aremereye"), mugihe andi akonje.Uruganda rumwe muri Kolorado, ubu rumaze gufungwa burundu, rwakoresheje gaze ya helium nka coolant (bita gaze yubushyuhe bwo hejuru).Ibimera bike bikoresha ibyuma byamazi cyangwa sodium.
