ATS Project POLONUM

Sodium cooled fission reactor, turbine, boiler, fissile fuel maker and polonum production all in one chunk. Energy Source is a quantum entagloporter and it requires roughly 8k Fe/t. Fuel and coolant are supplied directly to the reactor and nuclear waste directly to polonium makers. For Fuel production you need to input yourself uranium ingots (around 3k), fluorite (around 10k) and gunpowder (around 30k) for stable running, sodium is produced as a byproduct and pumped into reactor. READ THE OPERATING MANUAL AND SETUP GUIDE. Main schematic is a CORE but addditional ATS_Fission_Reactor_BASE is a purely utility build in art style of ApexTech to house 4 reactors as in pictures.

NOTE:

• schematicannon doesnt place turbine blades inside the turbine, you will have to do it yourslef

• Set it up without power so you dont clog the tubes with wrong gases or liquids, hook up power after set up is complete

• Build has to be outside and for polonium production unit, under direct sunlight

OPERATING MANUAL:

FIRST TIME RUNNING:

1. On the ground floor, place inside bins their respective ingredients, they aresigned but in case their aren't: one by ultimate enrichment factory is Uranium, middle one is Fluorite and one to the stairs is gunpowder, you will need around 3k uranium ingots, 6k fluorite and about 15k gunpowder for full reactor. Also go to the very top and in the bin place supply of fluorite dust to make polonium pellets

2. Wait untill reactor (and preferably all pipes from centrifuge) fill with fissile fuel and sodium (this might take a while)

3. Set burning limit to 10mb/t, run the reactor, wait for boiler to fill with water and reactor to fill with sodium, once filled CUT THE SODIUM SUPPLY (break the tube)

4. Set burning limit to 20mb/t, wait for boiler to fill up with water and reactor to fill up with sodium again, once filled CUT THE SODIUM SUPPLY (again)

5. Set burning limit to 40mb/t, wait for the boiler to fill up with water and reactor to fill up with sodium, once filled CUT THE SODIUM SUPPLY

6. Raise burning limit by adding 20mb/t every time boiler fills with water and reactor with coolant, once it's running 200mb/t and fills with coolant, CUT THE SODIUM SUPPLY PERMAMENTLY if you dont, reactor will use sodium from fissile maker, that will clog the boiler with superheated coolant and reactor explodes. After first warm up enough sodium is now in closed circuit between boiler and reactor.

EVERY OTHER TIME RUNNING:

1. Supply Uranium ingots, fluorite and gunpowder to the bins on ground level and fluorite dust to the bin on top level, you need a cargo ship load honestly.

2. Start with 10mb/t, wait for the boiler to fill up with water

3. Raise burning limit by 20mb/t and wait for boiler to fill back with water.

4. repeat untill it reaches 200mb/t

• If you see sodium in the reactor disapearing drasticly fast SCRAM THE REACTOR NOW or it overheats and explodes.

• Once its running full speed - reactor should be filled with coolant, turbine should hold around 4/5 its capacity and boiler should be filled with water and in 3/4 with superheated coolant. All that can run stable as long as there is fissile fuel to burn.

• In case fissile fuel runs out and reactor runs full speed it is adviced to scram it because any break in fissile fuel supply makes the warm up process necessery again to not overheat and explode the reactor.

• If you dont cut the sodium supply early enough, and boiler is filled with super super heated coolant climb down the ladder and pump sodium out of boiler by two tubes attached to coolant output in the boiler by the pumps. When reactor was fully warmed up once and now is not operating, boiler should be filled with little less than 1/2 of its superheated coolant capacity, and fully with sodium so pump out additional sodium.

• Set resistive heater by the turbine to its maximal capacity (9999999 MFe/t) if you dont wish to produce energy from the reactor. If you do, then set it to 0 and place your own quantum entagloporter to harnes energy from the turbine. BEWARE if the turbine fills with energy it stops working, stops turning steam into water and it leads to reactor meltdown.

SETUP GUIDE:

1. If you want you can build just the CORE and it will function the same, but if you want to have 4 reactors in an artstyle matching building that can also function as a base with its own train station and storage start with building BASE. To do so prepare 4x4 chunk area, dig 34x34 blocks area 19 blocks deep in the very middle, make it so area of 2x2 chunks are surrounded by additional block by all sides, those 2x2 chunks has to have one block wide space for walls around them. Walls in ground and by the reactors are made with obsidian to avoid destroying other reactors if one melts down. Look at picture number 1.

2. When you have build a base its time to build cores, if you did first part correctly you should have 4 chunks to house 4 reactor cores, place the cores so the red concrete corners from the CORE are matching those from the BASE. Look at picture number 2.

3. Once a CORE is built, get inside the turbine (you will have to break your way in, i suggest from the vents) and place atleast one turbine blade on rotor shafts. One is needed for turbine to work, 13 blades are maximal amount for resistive heater to get rid of 100% of produced energy, 18 blades are maximal amount construction wise.

4. Once you are still down in reactor chamber, use configurator to set ultimate logistical pipe attached to turbine vent and one attached under the dynamic tank to PULL, see picture number 3.

5. Place water under all pumps by the thermal evaporation towers and on the very bottom in reactor chamber under the dynamic tank.

6. Use configurator to set ultimate logistical pipes coming out of both evaporation towers to PULL, see picture number 4. If you want to slightly boost fissile fuel production, detach middle electrolitic separator from the pipes.

7. Set 2 resistive heaters on ground level attached to thermal evaporation towers both to 2000 Fe/t.

8. Set to rotary condensators by the evaporation tower to DECONCENTRATING, and in side config: GASES: eject: ON, bottom - input, front - output, see picture number 2.

9. Setting 3 electrolitic separators from the picture 4: BOTH SIDES are dumping exces, side config: GASES: eject: ON, top - output 1 (sodium), front - output 2 (chlorine).

10. Setting 2 electrolitic separators on the other side of evaporation towers: GASES: eject: ON, front - output 2 (oxygen), top (for upper one it's right) - output 1 (hydrogen), see picture number 5.

11. Setting Uranium procesing down stairs: Ultimate Enriching Factory: auto-sort: ON, side config: ITEMS: eject: ON, top - input, left - output. ... Chemical Oxidizer side config: ITEMS: right - input, GASES: eject: ON, left - output. ... Chemical Infuser side config: GASES: eject: ON, top - input 1, right - input 2, left - output. ... Isotopic Centrifuge side config: GASES: eject: ON, right - input, front - output, see picture number 6.

12. Setting hydrofluoric acid up stairs, for a bit of simplicity input 2 (brown color) will always be set as a mekanism multiblock: left side from walking up the stairs: Chemical Infuser side config: GASES: eject: ON, right - input 2 (should be electrolitic separator), back - input 1, left output. ... Ultimate Injecting Factory auto-sort: ON, side config: ITEMS: eject: ON, top - input, left - output, GASES: right - input. ... Chemical Oxidizer side config: ITEMS: right - input, GASES: eject: ON, left - output. ... Chemical Infuser side config: GASES: eject: ON, top - input 1, right - input 2, left - output. ... Chemical Infuser side config: GASES: eject: ON, back - input 1, right - input 2, left - output. ... Chemical Dissolution Chamber side config: ITEMS: top - input, GASES: right - input, left - output, see picture number 7.

13. Technicaly it could run as it is now, but to maximize production you have to set up oposite side same way but right is switched with left in side config, see picture number 8, You got this, i believe in you!

14. If you finished preparing fissile maker, go to very top to polonium procesing unit and set all 4 Solar Neutron Activators side configs to GASES: eject: ON, bottom - input, front - output. ... Pressurized Reaction Chamber side config ITEMS: eject: ON, top - input, right - output, GASES: left - input, back - output, FLUIDS: bottom - input. Also use configurator on the advanced logistical transporter by the item vault to set it to PUSH, now polonium pellets should be dispensing from funnels onto depots and used nuclear waste should be disposed in radioactive barrels behind, see the picture number 9.

15. To complete a set up you will need 312 speed upgrades and 312 energy upgrades total to use on all pipes and multiblocks for CORE to run safely and efficiently, also make sure to use signs on the deck and in reactor chamber to number the core, it comes in handy with all fours build.

16. Use configurator to set ultimate logistical transporters by the 3 ultimate bins on ground level to PULL in order for them to deposit ingredients to the machine.

17. Lastly, on the ground level, connect quantum entagloporter to power grid, all done, congratulations.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Sometimes reactor, turbine or boiler doesnt assemble, you have to break and place back a casing from the edge.

• Fissile fuel production is slow but its by intent to minimize risk of a meltdown if reactor has a break in fissile fuel supply.

• report issues in coments.
