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).
Heat Exchange
The reactor has two different systems: convert Water into Steam (High) and convert Water into Steam Depleted. The two grouped ports at the edge of the reactor are the main heat exchangers of the reactor. These ports are used to create the steam to run the turbines. The separate port on the main reactor building is used for emergency cooling in case the reactor overheats. This port will not provide steam under normal operations.
Overheat
For operating Nuclear Reactors safely, it is important to supply Water and consume Steam (High) stably. If one of them is lacking, "Reactor Heat" will start increasing.
If the Reactor Heat reaches on the red marker in UI, the emergency cooling will start. However, when no water for the emergency cooling is stored or spent all, increasing Reactor Heat will not stop. And reaching the heat to maximum causes critical overheating and the death of hundreds of people.
Note that overheating does NOT alert you or stop the reactor until it reaches critical overheating.
Recipes
Below are all the recipes, which this building is capable of producing. Note, that some of them may be locked behind Research, and not immediately available in your game.
This article invokes definition of game's source data (either directly, or with one or several template invokes). Editing it will result in updates to some of the stored tables, which in turn updates automated data lists. See more. If you've found incorrect data, related to this article's topic, it is a good place to start searching for definitions, requiring updates. |
