Question

Do I have this right …

// Reactor.h
@property(nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *reactorCore;

// Reactor.m
[self setReactorCore:[NSKeyedUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithFile:[self dataFilePath]]];
...

-(void)dealloc {
    [reactorCore release];
    [super dealloc];
}

I am pretty sure I am doing this right (but just wanted to check). By my way of thinking NSKeyedUnarchiver returns an object it owns, I am then taking ownership via the @property, later I release reactorCore and all is good?

I believe your code is corect. When in doubt you could use Build and Analize in XCode to check for possible leaks.
