Title
Plum Brook reactor assembly
Full Description
A cutaway drawing of the Plum Brook reactor assembly within the pressure
tank. The drawing reveals an array of test holes, the core, sub-pile
room, control rods,water lines, etc. The tank was surrounded by four
shielding quadrants, three containing water. Quadrant B was constructed
with extra concrete shielding so that water was not necessary. This
construction provided unique capabilities for handling experimental
packages. Despite the significance of this feature, the artist
erroneously depicts Quadrant B as being filled with water.
