Instructions

Take control of a nuclear plant and produce some kilowatts! First press green START button. You have 3 controls, ranging from 0-100. 1-Graphite control bars on the core. When you move up the bars, nuclear reactions starts heating the water cooling the core. 2-Primary cooling system pump. When you make the water flow around, heat is passed on to the heat exchanger. 3. Secondary cooling system pump. It makes water in a external circuit boil and turn to steam that moves the turbine that produces electricity. You need to activate primary cooling before moving control bars. Secondary cooling pump cannot be activated until xchanger gets to 200ºC. Watch out the indicators! If your core or exchanger goes too hot, it will be damaged and the reactor will stop. If the turbine runs too fast, it will be damaged too.

Description

UNFINISHED!! NOW UNPLAYABLE! NEEDS CHANGES! You can play but controls are not fully tested. Based on several simulators found on the web, mostly http://www.nuclearpowersimulator.com/ But instead of rip off the maths I'm just figuring out myself. Sorry for mistakes! SOME TIPS TO PLAY: Don't rush, change values by small amounts (6-8 max) and fine tune to get uniform increments of temp. Going faster is prone to disaster! Max safe values are 800ºC core temp, 400ºC xchanger temp and 2500 rpm turbine.
