Nuclear Reactor

Nuclear Reactor

Maintains nuclear chain reactor from enriched Uranium Rods. The reaction released a large amount of energy utilized for steam generation. This plant can be set up to effectively provide up to 12 MW of electricity when running on full power. Beware that spent fuel is radioactive and can harm the population if not stored in a specialized facility.

Designation	Power Production

The Nuclear Reactor is a machine which generates large amounts of Steam (High) from Water for use in generators by means of consuming Uranium Rods. The machine itself is self-sufficient with regards to power and requires no Electricity from outside sources.

Power is generated by passing the output Steam (High) though High-pressure Turbines and Low-pressure Turbines with their output shaft connected to Power Generators, typically Tier 2 variants of each. A majority of the Water can subsequently be recovered for reuse using a Cooling Tower (Large).

Recipes

The recipes are all the same, the only difference is the time it takes to consume the input materials and the amount of output.
