Creating a virtual PWR
Roll Tide:
Perhaps you could find something overseas easier than in the US. I was shocked about the details provided in Lithuania. Perhaps some of the PWRs in Asia have similar info...

alphadude:
you can use any turbine side of most fossil fuel power plants to simulate. As for the reactor compartment, containment, building etc. B&W are less complex, then CE, then Westinghouse. (regen heat exchanger, Yikes!!) Aux buildings thats another can of worms, again B&W and CE seem to be less complex.
GuloGulo:
Maybe what would help IrradiatedPixel would be a list of things inside a nuclear plant, if he's after just the correct look of things, and not much more.
For example, we all know there are pipes involved, but are they black pipe, PVC, or something else? What are some of the different pipe thicknesses and their relative commonplace?
Are there spinning/flashing lights in a reactor building? Catwalks? What do the control rooms look like? An endless wall of needle gauges, or a sleek bay of shiny computers? Do the doors look unusual, or are they just bolt-hinged like the ones in our houses?
Good luck!

Its a research paper describing what their doing at the University of Illinois. I got my nuke degree from there a year ago and they were just beginning to do the 3-D modeling. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
