Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Lead-Cooled Fast Reactor Schematic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A schematic for a prototype nuclear reactor using lead as a cooling agent.
Reason
I found this by accident while looking through nuclear reactor pages here. I was stunned by the quality of the image, and it occurred to me that if this image was eye catching to me it may be worthy of an FP star, so here I am with my find. This is an .svg image, so size is not an issue. I have omitted the details of the nuclear reaction since all nuclear reactors are more or less the same, but if it becomes an issue I will be happy to add such information to the caption. Note that the image here is for a theoretical reactor currently under development for commercial use; however, this should not be a problem insofar as OR is concerned, as soviet Alpha-class submarines used a variant of the reactor shown here for propulsion and electric consumption.
