Must be adjacent to at least one Reactor Cell and one Reactor Casing. Must be adjacent to at least two active moderator blocks. Must be adjacent to at least one valid Water Cooler and one valid Redstone Cooler. Must be adjacent to at least one active moderator block. Must be adjacent to at least one Reactor Cell. Must be adjacent to at least one Reactor Cell or active moderator block. There are several different types of cooler and each has its own set of conditions under which it operates. In addition, if two cells are connected by a straight line of at most four moderator blocks, the cells behave as if they were adjacent, becoming more efficient.Ĭoolers remove heat from the reactor core. If it is not adjacent to any cells, additional power will not be generated and extra heat equal to the fuel's base heat output will be generated. Similarly, the extra heat generated is H/t. The additional power generated per moderator block is equal to RF/t for each adjacent cell, where cellEff is the efficiency of the cell. Although moderators will generate additional heat wherever it is placed in the structure, it will only generate extra power if adjacent to at least one Reactor Cell. Moderator blocks such as Graphite provide an efficiency boost but will also produce additional heat. For example, a reactor with two adjacent cells and TBU fuel will have an efficiency of 200%, producing 240 RF/t and 108 H/t. In general, each cell adjacent to other cells produces times the base fuel power output and times the base fuel heat output. Any cell adjacent to at least one other has a higher efficiency and their power and heat output increases dramatically.A reactor containing two non-adjacent cells and using TBU fuel, will produce 120 RF/t and 36 H/t. For example, if using TBU fuel, which has a base power output of 60 RF/t and a base heat output of 18 H/t, a reactor containing a single cell will produce 60 RF/t and 18 H/t. When not adjacent to any other cell or moderator, each cell produces the base power and heat listed for the fuel you are using.This is the main component that creates energy and heat. The following blocks should be placed down inside the reactor core:
Alchemistry fission multiblock mod#
It was updated by the mod author to include information on which fuel is most efficient in the design being tested, and can be found here Reactor Core Blocks Jox, a member of the NuclearCraft Discord server, created a spreadsheet that both assisted with Fission Reactor calculations and tabulated the products of fuel reprocessing. Some blocks get boosts from being adjacent to others, some won't work unless adjacent to another. The position of blocks relative to each other is very important.Each block inside a Fission Reactor either creates power (RF) and heat (H), removes heat, or modifies the way in which the blocks interact.Managing heat and power, while getting the best efficiency, is the core challenge of NuclearCraft's fission reactor. This section details the mechanics of how NuclearCraft's fission reactor components interact. Note that only the faces consist of reactor casing blocks - placing reactor casing along the edges will most often result in the controller being unable to determine the position and size of the reactor.Any cuboid shape is valid it doesn't need to be a cube. The interior of the reactor core may have any size from 1x1x1 to 24x24x24.Apply a redstone signal to the controller to turn the reactor on.Place Reactor Cells, Moderator blocks (currently the only moderators are Graphite and Beryllium blocks) and Coolers inside the core.Place a Fission Controller alongside or within one of the walls of the frame.Start by building the reactor core frame out of Reactor Casing and Fission Ports if wanted.Building the frame of the core is simple, but choosing the right combination and configuration of parts to go inside is tricky! The core is then filled with your choice of Reactor Cells, Coolers and Moderator blocks. 4x3x5 Solid-Fuel Fission Reactor, complete with Reactor Ports for fuel handling and redstone activationĪ solid-fuel fission reactor consists of a controller and a reactor core.
