I talked with a friend who worked at B&W before retirement and he said they are in fact boiling water type, but still don't get any natural circulation which can take away the amount of heat that has been generated since the scram when the quake hit. He noted that most all are built so the bottom of the condenser and the feed pump(s) are usually a level below the reactor so the cold water still has to rise, not the way nature really likes to do things I guess?
