2.2 GW with steam and accumulator charge controllers

Post by jormaig »

So this is my nuclear reactor:

for the design I got inspired in CPU blueprints and I wanted it not only to be usefull but also a bit beautiful too:

The reactor has a big storage to use the steam only when needed
Storage
To be for easy use I enable or disable the pumps that go into the turbines with circuit network conditions
Pumps
The reactor setup and the turbines setup does not have many secrets, pretty straightforward
Turbines
To control everything I have two controllers, one that monitors power status and enables/disables the steam pumps to produce electricity and another that monitors steam levels and adds fuel to the reactor so it can produce heat that will be converted to steam.
Controller
Some numbers:
There are 380 turbines, 224 heat exchangers and 16 nuclear reactors


And finally the blueprint:
