There is something undeniably cool about nuclear reactors that I can't quite explain. Maybe it's the allure of the nihilistic attitude that comes with the notion of being part of the nuclear generation, but I'm pretty sure all those Troma flicks had something to do with this interest as well. Either way, these cutaways are pretty kick ass and (I'm sure I'll probably be the only one to think this is a great idea) would make for some great wall art, especially with that spherical and dome-shaped architectural design. Click on the charts for an extra large version to get a better view of the details, and the original dates of when these were featured in an issue of the National Engineering International magazine are also included.
