Automatic nuclear waste treatment plant

Post by Puppet »

Hello engineers,

Here's a tiny contraption to say goodbye to your nuclear waste automatically. Note that (obviously) Nuclear waste treatment research and Kovarex enrichment process research is required, you'll need the logistic network research in order for it to be completely automatic, otherwise put nuclear waste into the left blue requester chest and iron plates into the middle blue requester chest, modules are not required, it works fine without them. Finally insert 40 U-235 into the right centrifuge and it's good to go.

How does it work ?
The two comparators on the right handle the equilibrium of the module,

The left one detect when there are either, one U-235 in the assembler, or 5 U-238 in the right centrifuge, or that the right centrifuge is functioning, if one theses condition is detected, the comparator output a stop signal to the bulk inserter connected to it. The comparator make sure there is the right amount of U-238 used to have exactly one U-235, the rest of U-238 is being collected by the assembling machine.

The right one detects exactly when the centrifuge have finished working and output a signal to the fast inserter, allowing it to transfert exactly one U-235 into the assembling machine. This comparator make sure the 40 remaining U-235 goes back into the centrifuge, allowing it continuously work.

And that is pretty much all, don't hesitate to ask question if you have some. I know the design is maybe overcomplicated but it was my first steps into logic systems, I hope it will be useful for some people.


Thank you for reading this unwell written post !
