I did some rough calculations. With diameter of the cylinder at 1.2 m, the area is 1.13 m2. Assuming that the coolant pipes take up about 50% if this area, and fitting remaining area with 100 reactors. Each reactor would have a diameter of 4.2 cm. Each 4.2 cm dia. reactor would be producing 10KW.
I think the diameter of each reactor is supposed to be that of the model shown in the "leaked" photo some time back, which was of 9 cm. By the way, I've seen suggested around that this design vaguely reminds that of CANDU nuclear fission reactors (at a much smaller scale). See here: http://www.nucleartourist.com/type/candu2.htm
