US nuclear reactor shielding.
 

The containment vessel consists of a verticle containment vessel of 5.5 meter diameter, between two water-tight bulkheads. The control rod drive is situated in a cupola which rests above the reactor chamber. The chamber can withstand a pressure of 15+ atmospheres.


The secondary shielding consists of concrete, lead, and polethyleane positioned toward the top of the containment area. Water, by its nature, contains any nuclear escape to the surrounding area.

A pre-stressed concrete wall of 122 cm surrounds the lower portion of containment. This wall rests upon a HTS cushion. A section of 15.2 cm lead obsorbs the gamma radiation. 15.2 cm of polethyleane is used to slow neutrons. Any space between lead plates is filled with lead wool.

Yes, and?

Also, all that clearly refers to a specific type of reactor, the setup would probably be different for different reactor types.

Just trying to spread the information. Julian Assange has opened the gin's bottle.

The primary shielding is provided by a water tank, which encapsulates the pressure vessel, surrounded by lead.

Yes, we know how google works, thank you.

You are very clear today!
 

:yep:

Yet Subsim doesn't work the same way. To the detriment of its owners.

Some folks may not have known this information. Please stop degrading me to make yourself feel better.

What is wrong with you folks? Some criticize for knowing too much, others for knowing too little. Time to re-evaluate your place in the world and allow others in the loop..

First of all, an introduction with a new thread would be in order. Your first post was just throwing out some facts with no context or explanation.

Second, you are providing an answer to a question no one has asked. Imagine how cluttered this forum would be if everyone just started copying random pieces of information in new threads.

Third, you referenced the guy from wikileaks but made no further explanation how that relates to what you posted.

Fourth, when someone brings all this to your attention, your response is to attack them, and by inference the rest of the board for no reason.

Again more attacks. What is wrong with you people?

Yes, but in his defense I'm a dick and probably deserve it.
That being said, he isn't really a good troll, because this isn't amusing. Lacks wit.

As was said to me....no one asked for this information.

Bump

Question to those who'd know:

Is the info third man is posting "common knowledge", or is this technical classified info that's been leaked somehow and shouldn't be posted?

EDIT: If its leaked info, id suggest reporting the post to get it removed rather then bumping it.

I consider that a legit question. Something new. It is open knowledge, although some of my numbers were changed.
