    This is the best artwork of any reactor ever. Holy crap. +1 for awesome detail

    Ah... I see. The button send a signal to a group of powered pipes over in the condensation tank, allowing the water into the reactor. Thank you, Doritos(Loco)Taco.

    it pours water into the reactor, you know? the thing that turns the turbines?

    Hey Buys, what does the button marked "Core spray" do? Is it some sort of emergency coolant? Is it a needed process for reaction? Or is it the newest product in the very small Nuclear Reactor Cosmetics market? I can't find where it leads to.

    Incase you guys were wondering, it seems "MSIV" stands for "Main Steam Intake Valve", because the "MSIV" button opens a valve that seems to let the steam into the turbine loop.

    @dman04321: No, this isn't true. Some reactors cycle hot coolant (usually water) through pipes to heat a large quantity of water in a second loop to boiling and this steam drives the turbine. "But how does the water in the first loop not boil?" you ask? Ah, that is because the first loop is at EXTREMELY HIGH pressure! This intense pressure prevents the water fom boiling and allows it to flow through the pipes as a liquid at temperatures WELL ABOVE 100 C.

    All reactors are boiling water reactors
