Coolant consumption depends on the strength of the fuel. Make sure the reactor has a steady supply of coolant when active and water at the ready, otherwise it will overheat and violently explode in the meltdown. This shows how rod placement affects heat distribuition throughout the reactor, and is very useful when planning to add more fuel rods. You can show the grid in the GUI by pressing ALT. You can significantly increase the amount of heat a rod produces by placing them next to each other. To completely fill it with quad rods, you'd need 32 nuclear fuel ingots.ĭemonstration of rods placed next to each other. It won't generate power on its own, but instead, produce Steam that can be pumped into Steam Turbines that do. Radiation is also not isolated when using a small reactor, so a large reactor containment building is required to make the nearby area inhabitable.įill it with Coolant and Water, then put any Fuel Rods of your choosing into it and press the red button to raise the rods.Ĭlicking on the E-shaped button next to the heat and steam gauges will switch the steam's compression. However, due to the enormous amount of power late-game machines consume, they can be rendered inadequate in a short amount of time. Small nuclear reactors are a great choice for early nuclear power, because of the ease of setup and simple operation. Rods decay faster the more packed together they are, and the more heat they produce. This page refers to the small nuclear reactor, for the multiblock structure please go hereĪ small nuclear reactor. This page will remain for archival purposes. Its functionality is wholly different, refer to Research Reactor for the actual feature.
This feature has been modified beyond the capacity of a simple page rewrite.
