NuclearCraft is intended for use in modpacks and does not provide any power cables/conduits. Web Building A Nuclear Reactor Fuel Rods. Once you have your reactor, you want to get some power out of it.

It consumes uranium cells, which produce eu and heat. In order to get it started, it requires heat, which can be created by inputting large amounts of RF into the reactor. Uranium Fuel Rods Are Crafted In A Fluid/Solid Canning Machine And Can Be Crafted Into Dual Fuel Rod. In addition to power generation, NuclearCraft adds a number of single-block, upgradeable machines, similar to those added by other tech mods. The Fusion Reactor is powered by Nuclear Fusion by combining various Fusion Nuclear Fuels.
#MINECRAFT NUCLEARCRAFT FISSION REACTOR FUEL MOD#
NuclearCraft takes a semi-realistic view of reactor design and optimization so the mod is well-suited to players who enjoy complex design challenges. NuclearCraft offers three main methods of power generation: the Solid-Fuel Fission Reactor which directly harnesses the power of splitting atoms, the Tokamak Fusion Reactor which generates power by fusing atomic nuclei together under immense heat, and the new Molten Salt Fission Reactor, in which the heat of nuclear fission is passed to coolant to be transferred to water to produce steam in a Heat Exchanger, which is subsequently used by one or two stages of Steam Turbines to generate power. It is currently developed for Minecraft version 1.12.2. It supports the Forge Energy, IC2 EU and GregTech Community Edition EU power systems. It focuses on using nuclear power to provide energy. NuclearCraft is a tech mod created by tomdodd4598. In general, the information provided on this wiki does not apply to NCO. Where this is the case, stacking reactors is definitely not recommended because that would make the bottom central block unavailable for automated temperature control.If you are looking for information on NuclearCraft: Overhauled (NCO), there is a wiki under construction here. Multiple reactors, stacked, operate independently, at different temperatures (or not at all) with no sharing of inventory or energy. Update: In a recent version of NuclearCraft (2.17c-1.12.2, tested in Sky Factory 4), stacking doesn't apply. Therefore, placing a reactor below another will empty the inventory of the reactor above it. How much heat is generated depends on the rate at which it burns Fissile Fuel. All reactors use the inventory of the bottom reactor, so breaking and replacing any non-bottom reactor is safe. A Fission Reactor is a multiblock structure that generates massive amounts of heat but does not produce power on its own. There is no limit to the number of reactors that can be stacked. This will increase RF output and fuel consumption in a linear fashion - for instance two reactors doubles the RF output and the amount of fuel consumed per tick, three reactors triples it, etc. My fission reactor (nuclearcraft) is not using fuel and is not generating power. Multiple reactors may be combined by stacking them. updated example since the values were comparing incorrect measurements.Ĭomparators check the efficiency of the reactor, maxing out at 95% efficiency. For instance, while operating at 30% efficiency it will use 1 fuel/tick and output 200 RF/fuel, for a total 200 RF/t while at 90% it will use 3 fuel/tick and output 600 RF/fuel, for a total 3,600 RF/t. The reactor will never drop below 7 MK in this fashion, so restarting the reactor only requires a minimal amount of energy.Īt lower efficiencies fuel will be consumed slower and will produce less RF each. This is the only way to lose heat the reactor will not lose heat if it runs out of fuel. The higher the temperature, the faster the heat is lost. While disabled the reactor will continue to output RF until its internal buffer is empty, after which it will begin quickly losing heat. The reaction can be disabled with a redstone signal applied to the bottom center block of the reactor. The reactor will gain heat continuously while a reaction in in progress. It has a maximum temperature of 20,000 MK. The amount of RF generated is based on the fuel types and the heat of the reactor. This takes approximately 40,000,000 RF (If you have Ender IO, this is 180% of the storage capacity of a Vibrant Capacitor).

Once the temperature has reached 8 MK (Mega-Kelvin) a reaction may be started. In order to get it started, it requires heat, which can be created by inputting large amounts of RF into the reactor. The Fusion Reactor is powered by Nuclear Fusion by combining various Fusion Nuclear Fuels.
