This answer was surprisingly difficult to find. I also had to make some assumptions about the reactor size and other information. First you must know that a nuclear weapon uses a much more highly enriched
This is very interesting. There are no pipes inside the reactor vessel itself. It is basically a big pot that the fuel sits in, with large pipes attached to the side for the water to enter and leave
Hey, if you're getting any money from this I want a cut! <grin> The engineering company (Stone & Webster, Westinghouse, Areva, et al)that designs and constructs the plant does the original specs, which
