So the government has posted detailed technical details of all 4 designs on teh intarweb, so that anyone can see how they work, and work out what might go wrong.

Thought it might be worth posting, because there are thousands of pages of geek-friendly highly detailed descriptions of the 4 power plant designs, reactor specs, etc.

Want to know to build a nuclear reactor? Almost everything you need to know is here.

Oh, and if you think a design is BS, feel free to e-mail your concerns and expect a written response from the manufacturer within 30 days.

Im suprised this kind of info is made public.

Im not far enough in physics yet to make a real call on the designs of the reactors. However it's easy to say that anything built today will be an order of magnitude more safe than the 1950's dinosaurs that have served us so well for 50 years.
