That is the world's largest nuclear power plant steam generator-one of 6 my company had constructed in Italy. Each one generates ~1 million HP worth of hot steam. They were so big and heavy we had to build each one in two pieces (in Milan), truck them (one-at-a-time)to Cremona (home of the Stradivarius violins), transfer them to a barge on the Po River, float them to near Venice, weld the two sections together, load them on a heavy lift ship to Mexico, roll them off the ship onto hundreds of sheets of 3/4" plywood (all of the local supply) so the wheels wouldn't sink into the sand (not anticipated, someone got it trouble-not me, I was in Italy), move the plywood Egyptian-style ahead of the wheels (big labor crew plus a front-end loader) for 5 miles to pavement, then drive at 3 MPH up thru Mexico and the Arizona desert. Then the fun begins. Move them horizontally thru a big hole in the side of a containment structure with ~1" clearance, upend them to vertical (big end up) once inside, weld them in place and hook up all the steam/water lines-the largest of which is 42" dia. Amazing what a few hundred million $$$ can do! Payback time is ~8-10 years because we can make more power now. I was a mere cog on the wheel-the engineer responsible for getting them built the way we wanted. And I didn't even get a Ferrari for my troubles! Life is so unfair.
