Nuclear reactor cutaway diagrams

Salim sez, "If only I had some of these amazing cut-away diagram wall-charts of nuclear reactors when I was a kid. BibliOdyssey, curator of the Internet's finest collection of archival artwork has found this amazing trove of Atomic-era goodness. Please enjoy these fascinating diagrams of a bunch of 1970s nuclear reactors."

These images are derived from pdf files [UNM CSEL Nuclear Engineering Wall Chart Collection] hosted on New Mexico's Digital Collections portal for the Centennial Science and Engineering Library at the University of New Mexico on behalf of NEI. Something a bit different, to be sure.
