**Answer:**

Yes. PWR reactors generally show higher capacity values than BWR reactors.

### Question 3: Which countries contain the highest numbers of PWR and BWR reactors?

This question was explored using a **stacked bar chart** of reactor counts by country and reactor type.

**Answer:**

-
The United States and China appear to have the highest numbers of reactors, followed by countries such as Japan and France.
|
|
|
|
| 69 |
The distribution of PWR and BWR reactors is not the same in all countries, which suggests that country may be useful as a predictive feature.

### Question 4: How does the total global capacity compare between PWR and BWR reactors?

This question was explored using a **bar chart** of total capacity by reactor type.
|
| 74 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 75 |
**Answer:**
|
| 76 |
PWR reactors contribute much more total global capacity than BWR reactors in this dataset.
|
| 77 |
This matches the earlier findings that PWR reactors are both more common and usually larger in capacity.

In general, the map suggests two visible geographic blocs: one around the United States and another around Russia/China.

This pattern is not perfectly sharp, but it is visible enough to suggest that geographic location may contain useful predictive information.
