[edit] Core Layout
I was going to write this in the article, but my brain isn't working well enough right now.
The very center is what could be called quasi-regular rhombic tiling, but there are only 3 assemblies following that pattern, so not really tiling. The rest is arranged in a regular rhombic tiling (which I find no Wikipedia article on) in 3 regions. [1]
So someone else can figure out what to call that. I'd upload the picture, but it would just get deleted. theanphibian 19:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- It might be better described as three rings? That's how it's described in the manuals, and is the basis for the position labels. And duplicating the core layout diagram from scratch ought to be copyright-safe. Sho Uemura 15:03, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- huh, I did not know this about copyright. But now I have a question about the core for you. I sort of remember reading somewhere that there is only one plate fuel element per assembly. Is this true (it seems like it would be a case of severe over moderation)? And is there any methodology to the orientation of these plates? theanphibian 17:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- That is not the case - the core description page says there are 15 plates per assembly. The orientations are not fixed, though naturally the plates are parallel within a single element. Sho Uemura 00:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
