- mixmax 17y agoIt would be great if there was one for Chernobyl.
- InclinedPlane 17y agoThis is the best diagram I could find of the RBMK-1000 design: http://www.neimagazine.com/journals/Power/NEI/March_2006/attachments/RBMK1000Key.jpg http://www.neimagazine.com/journals/Power/NEI/March_2006/att...
- AndrewO 17y agoNot to criticize this one, but it's interesting to see the difference between a diagram like this one and the ones linked. Definitely gives me an appreciation of technical illustrators that can make something that preserves information and looks impressive.
- scorxn 17y agoReminds me of Stephen Biesty's books. http://amzn.com/0590738704 http://amzn.com/0590738704 Blew my mind as a kid. Come to think of it, my nephew needs an xmas present.
- cmelbye 17y agoWow, I really want to make a poster of this as a gift. Do you think I could take this file to Kinkos and have them make a poster of it?
- timdorr 17y agoLooking at the Original size, there is too much JPEG compression for it to be usable for print. Some needs to upload a document format of this (PDF or otherwise) or a higher-resolution image.
- kqr2 17y agoActually, as mentioned in the article, the original pdfs are from: http://econtent.unm.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=%2Fnuceng http://econtent.unm.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=%2Fnuceng

- bullfrognm 17y agoRepost - NEI has generously provided permission to share the drawings free-of-charge at a resolution consistent with print-out at roughly 11"x17", which is very usable "for educational purposes," e.g., in the classroom. NEI retains the rights to higher resolution images, and marketing thereof. With this in mind I collected hard copies of the charts for 100+ reactors and have had them digitized. The University of New Mexico set up the website, and will be repository for the 40+ hard-copy charts I had in my personal collection. The reactor diagrams are copyright Nuclear Engineering International magazine. High-resolution scans, and poster prints, are available for sale. For more information or a quotation contact wdal at neimagazine dot com. BTW -- I, too, wish someone had done such drawings for Chernobyl, the Russian VVER, and a few other unique designs. Some of the reactor vendors have e-pictures of their current offerings.
