NPP 2xN by PMAP

Post by PMAP »

Introduction
Hello everyone and thanks to Google Translator.

An expandable nuclear power plant in which a base section of 2 reactors produces 180 MW, and subsequent sections of 6 reactors add 960 MW.
Overview
Sides
Wires
Book of blueprints

Advantages
  • Launches automatically (as soon as the drones deliver fuel).
  • No pumps.
  • Turbines are loaded evenly.
  • Does not overheat and without loss of steam.
  • Separate power supply from the external network ensures trouble-free operation of the installation.
  • There is a mechanism for advance fuel supply, thanks to which:
    • Capable of accelerating at 100% power.
    • Reacts in a timely manner to a sharp increase in voltage, minimizing the drop in power.
  • The entire installation operates as one, but each section of the installation independently makes decisions regarding fuel supply.
  • With low energy consumption, as many sections will work (supply fuel) as necessary, down to 0.
  • Each section has a mechanism for synchronous fuel supply to the reactors.
  • The blueprint include the landfill of the territory.
  • Fuel delivery is carried out by drones, but you can manually place fuel in the reactor, and this will not violate the logic of the installation.
  • You can add a new section at any time.
Disadvantages
  • The need to place the installation on the water so that there are two trenches with water, and most likely a lot of filling of the territory will be required.
  • Each section contains a drone station and a radar, as a result you will get more than you need (you can leave it as is, or you can remove the extra ones).
  • There are no drone stations at the edges of the sections; to automate the construction, you will have to place the necessary stations at a distance at the end of the installation, and then remove them.

Paying attention
Internal power supply only for combinators and manipulators.
Drone stations and radars are powered from an external network.
How to install?
  • First of all, you need to select an area with water so that you get two parallel trenches (refer to the pumps in the drawing).
  • Install the base section for 2 reactors (this drawing includes a blank for the first addition).
    Next, additional sections of 6 reactors are installed. In this case, the base section turns into a section for 8 reactors.
    It is placed closely, with the two outer and middle power line supports matching the previous section.
  • Place a fuel supply chest and a spent fuel storage chest in the logistics network area.
  • Add transport drones to the drone station (for example, at the rate of 1 drone per 1 reactor).
  • To receive energy, connect to any big electric pole or any substation (medium electric poles are internal power).
