No problem. Further to my comments about the design, I read in another story linked to on HN that generation III reactors now use convection based cooling. I gather this means the water is taken elsewhere as steam to cool then returns via gravity to the core. Therefore you wouldn't have this same kind of issue with a modern reactor.

Interesting. That seems like a smart way of doing it.
