52. Graphite moderated vs water as a moderator
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 07:57 PM by kristopher
The basic reactor design within the reactor chamber is what I'm referring to. The graphite moderator at Chernobyl was integral to the accident. The containment system that exists outside the reactor vessel was subject to some pretty wide variance in the late 60s and early 70s when these were built and I refuse to accept *assumptions* that treat the situation as if there were a standardized design that was being use.
