Fission Reactor

This page is a work in progress! Many essential things are missing.

The Fission Reactor is a multiblock structure that allows for variable input rates of Fissile Fuel. The reactor uses either Sodium or water as a coolant. Power is generated by converting the generated heat into power in an Industrial Turbine. With water cooled reactors, this is done by directly piping steam into an Industrial Turbine. Sodium cooled reactors use a Thermoelectric Boiler as a heat-exchanger to cool down the Superheated sodium and heat up water into Steam.

Construction

Radiation

As a byproduct of burning Fissile Fuel, fission reactors produce Nuclear Waste which can be converted in either Polonium Pellet or Plutonium Pellet. Both conversion paths produce Spent Nuclear Waste as a byproduct (at a ratio of 10:1), which must be stored in Radioactive Waste Barrels. Nuclear Waste or Spent Nuclear Waste can be piped into a Nuclear Waste Barrel from its top side with a Pressurized Tube.

Radiation can leak into the environment for the following reasons:

  • Fission reactor overheating leading to a core meltdown (actually blowing up).
  • Fission reactor running with its waste tank full.
  • Breaking any block containing radioactive materials. Most notably Pressurized Tubes and Radioactive Waste Barrels, but also any machine (like a Pressurized Reaction Chamber containing radioactive materials. These can still be broken safely if they are somehow drained of their radioactive contents beforehand.

The player can check the storage status of Nuclear Waste Barrels by crouching and right-clicking it with an empty hand. Green radiation particles start to appear as a barrel fills up (these are just a rough visual indicator of a barrel's fill ratio, not actual radiations).

While a barrel containing waste cannot be moved (because they cannot be broken safely in the first place), its contents can be drained from its bottom side with a tube in pull mode and moved to another barrel with a tube network. Once empty, the barrel can be safely broken.

Quantum Entangloporters cannot handle radioactive materials. i.e. it is not possible to make Polonium Pellets with a reactor in the nether or have a reactor in the overworld and store waste in the nether.
