Reactor site

The reactor building houses three most important components of a nuclear power facility: the nuclear reactor containment, the control room for site operation and the turbine hall with steam turbines and electrical generators. The roof of the containment, called containment dome is the bottom of the reactor pools. The pools are accessible from the reactor hall.

To continue the virtual tour, uncover parts of the building by moving the cursor over them and double-click to enter. Then, wherever your are, cursor will be your guide inside the virtual sphere pictures or will animate some processes on a double-click.
