The complete set of 105 reactor wall charts has now been uploaded by the University of New Mexico. The dates above relate to the issue of Nuclear Engineering International magazine in which they first appeared. The collection was assembled by Ronald Knief, a nuclear engineer from Sandia National Laboratories.

The UNM CSEL Nuclear Engineering Wall Chart collection can be viewed as thumbnail jpegs but the full sized images are only available as pdf files {I found it easiest to download them rather than paralyse the browser on ffox} The size and resolution of the images vary somewhat, but they're all at least 2000px on the long side.Wired posted a little more information about the collection late last year.

The images remain under copyright to NEI magazine : high-resolution scans, and poster prints, are available for sale. For more information or a quotation contact: wdal AT neimagazine DOT com.

  1. hmm,i have doubt on the nuclear reactor that have been mention above on how is a nuclear reactor similar to a normal, fossil fuel reactor,and i have one more queastion on why pure uranium ore must be enriched for it to be used as fuel in a standard PWR reactor/power plant
