And finally, the next wave of advanced reactors may involve fusion, embodied by ITER as well as much smaller tokamak and stellarator projects around the world. There’s an intermediate phase of new technology like molten salt. Most of the planned “advanced reactor” technology close to reality is like NuScale, in that it’s a new shape or application of an existing technology. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play small modular reactor design to be issued a FSER, NuScale is pioneering the way for additional innovative advanced nuclear technologies under development,” Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) new reactor director Marc Nichol said in a statement. NuScale’s design uses classic nuclear fission water reactor technology in a much smaller form factor, which contrasts with the escalating sizes of most current nuclear plant construction around the world. Nuclear startup NuScale has received a landmark final safety evaluation report (FSER) for its modular reactor design, making it the first American modular design to reach this point. There are several more steps, including public feedback and the final road to building NuScale reactors.The reactor isn't technologically new, but has a much smaller form factor and new safety system.NuScale's tiny modular reactor design has received a final safety evaluation report on its way to certification.In the reactor used for testing while writing this document, stability was achieved with a single Active Fluid Cooler supplied with Molten Iron and a pair of Active Fluid Coolers supplied with Water. A cooling rate of 100% (stable, no change in temperature) can be achieved with different combinations of coolers.
When correctly placed and supplied with coolant, the Fusion Reactor GUI will display the cooling effects as illustrated in the sidebar. (Values taken from Enigmatica 2 v 1.53 - Nuclearcraft 2.12f) The following table lists the available coolants and their effectiveness: Normally-solid materials such as Diamond and Lapis can be liquefied by processing them in a Melter. There are several different coolants each with its own cooling rate as detailed below. Best performance can be achieved by placing pairs of Active Fluid Coolers on opposite sides of the entire fusion ring.Īctive Fluid Coolers must be supplied with a fluid coolant. For example, the ideal temperature for a Hydrogen/Hydrogen is approximately 2600MK.Īctive Fluid Coolers must be placed adjacent to two Fusion Electromagnets. This temperate may be determined by multiplying the Heat Variable from the fuel table, by 1.21876. Each fuel combination has a temperature at which the fusion process is most efficient. The number of coolers required by a Fusion Reactor depends on the size of the reactor and the choice of Fuels (and any changes made for the modpack being played). The processes and values described below are accurate and effective as of NuclearCraft v2.16f.įusion Reactors may only be cooled by Active Fluid Coolers. Note: Active cooling will be removed after the reactor overhaul. Further information may be found in the article on Fission Reactor.Ĭonditions: Must meet the same criteria as the matching type of cooler. The active cooler will use a maximum of 0.25 mB/t (0.5 mB/t in the upcoming v2.8) while the reactor is running. Compatible fluids are Water, Gelid Cryotheum, Destabilized Redstone, Resonant Ender, Energized Glowstone and Liquid Helium.Ĭoolant must be pumped into a Buffer from the outside, and pumped from the Buffer to the Active Fluid Cooler on the inside.
Over time the coolant will be consumed and needs to be refilled. Unlike regular coolers which are crafted with other ingredients, the Active Fluid Cooler is filled with fluid coolant during operation. The Active Fluid Cooler is placed inside a Fission Reactor reaction chamber and provides cooling. It may be used to cool both Fission Reactors and Fusion Reactors. The Active Fluid Cooler is a block added by NuclearCraft.
