Where can I buy a nuclear power plant section plan?

AI Thread Summary
Nuclear power plant section plans are generally unavailable for public purchase due to security concerns and regulations. Following the events of September 11, 2001, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) removed many sensitive materials from public access. Additionally, specific design details are often proprietary to the companies that create them. As a result, acquiring such plans for personal display, such as hanging one at a university, is not feasible. Security and proprietary restrictions significantly limit access to this type of information.

Generally, one cannot because of security reasons. Some elevation plans used to be available through the NRC. After Sep 11, 2011, they and other sensitive material were removed from the public domain.

Many details are considered proprietary to the designer/supplier.

I want to get one and hang it on the porch at my university.
 

Thread 'Energy Spectrum Attenuation'

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
