Nuclear Train Refuel hub

Nuclear Train Refuel hub

核火车燃料站

Produces nuclear fuel rods & recycles spent fuel for a fleet of nuclear locomotives.

Also serves as a normal standalone FBR powerplant.

Max capacity: 210MW & 2.4 fuel rods/month, enough to fuel 20 train reactors.
Considering that trains are not always at full throttle, the actual number of trains can go way much higher.

Setup

1. Put down phase 1 blueprint, deliver some water to start making fuel rods.
2. Build some nuclear trains and have them running.
3. Put down phase 2 blueprint. At the same time, wait for spent fuel to pile up.
4. Once spent fuel in the storage exceeds 240, unpause everything and fire up the FBR.
5. Crank up the FBR's power level slowly. Turn on Auto regulation if no extra yellow cake supply.

Tips

• FBR is self-suffcient at 87% capacity. power level 4 needs external yellow cake supply.
• For absolutely O pullution, replace the broken glass module with a molten glass module.
• Remove the bootup water storage after production starts.
• When adding this refuel station to train lines, also set the cargo filter to not allow any loading/unloading, so that trains won't pick up random garbage when refueling.
• Setting the FBR's power level to match your fuel rod comsumption can increase uranium ore effeciency.
• The storage full alert from the depleted uranium storage indicates not enough processing capacity. Consider increasing the FBR power level, or building another facility.
