n_t_p Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Stop posting in the thread for this design. I made this thread to showcase and discuss this design. If you would like to do the same for your design just make another thread. It's that easy It's very safe, but the sacrificial zone is large. Saps heat from the steam using indirect turbines before the steam is absorbed by the primary recirculating turbines. 100% uptime, spits out nuclear waste at about 230 C. Uses basic materials only. Most exotic material used is nuclear waste as coolant, which I'm not going to explain right now how to do but it is possible. Maybe 9.3 KW at steady state. I'll explain more later, here's an image dump and save: Dump.sav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfawkable Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Beautifully symmetric. But I do believe you meant to write KW, not MW. Is that Net production, or without counting the power consumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimaB77 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I can present my version of an Research Reactor. 1 sensor (not including AT), the usual materials. I will finish it soon and translate it.

DimaB77 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Is that a question for me? My circuit is simple, it combines power generation and radbolts. Of course I will describe the circuit in detail and enclose the blueprint. Or did I misunderstand you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking if you could use the blueprint mod and share the blueprint with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimaB77 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Of course.1-2 days for testing, fixing and translation (on the Russian mirror of the wiki, there is already a preliminary article, there is also already a blueprint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimaB77 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Specially for Comrade TuxSam123 Is that compact enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I harness radbolts from this research reactor? What do you do with nuclear waste? How do store it for later usage? (also radbolt production) How much power does it produce? Is it 100% uptime? (given that i supply it with enriched uranium all the time) 1 hour ago, DimaB77 said: Specially for Comrade TuxSam123 Is that compact enough? I think I'll make some alteration of my own...

DimaB77 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Can I harness radbolts from this research reactor? Yes, you can take them out of the circuit on the left side. What do you do with nuclear waste? I cool it down to about 205C and store it separately How do store it for later usage? (also radbolt production) They emit less than 3 rads. This is not dangerous. How much power does it produce? The previous circuit gives 6000W (and can be expanded). This one is slightly less. I will calculate exactly later. Is it 100% uptime? (given that i supply it with enriched uranium all the time) I've already tested it over 50 cycles and I'm not done yet. An uninterrupted supply of uranium is not required for the safety of the circuit. What is critical is the availability of water. --- I'm preparing a big article on obtaining, storing, and using radiation. That's why I'm a little late. A little patience...

I was just sharing my design. On 4/12/2021 at 11:20 PM, Unfawkable said: Beautifully symmetric. But I do believe you meant to write KW, not MW. Is that Net production, or without counting the power consumption? Net. Power consumption is pretty minimal, the AT should recycle most of the power it consumes.

GreezyHammer Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 With a couple tricks, was able to get it to overheat and force high-pressure 375C steam into the turbine hall. Waste around 480C, can boil petrol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
