The console command stops the polonium from melting. You can use the sign element to select it, then copy and enter it into the console. The turbine require heat and pressure to work. Click water coolant to fill up water and click neutron beam to start

  It has heat exchangers and steam generators, BWR's don't have that. It used to have water around the core, but DEUT doesn't boil, so now it looks kinda like pressurized water. And it conduct heat much better. So it can also be a PWR, since the DEUT isn't used as a moderator. The name tag boiler lid was chosen because it saves space, instead of steam generator valve or something, and it's intuitive, but it's not to make the assumption it's a BWR.

  BWR reactors literally boil the water on the fuel elements, so this is not that

  I think it's a PHWR, but the D2O doesn't actually get pumped through the reactor or have any function other than to help transfer heat. It doesn't work with 2D, so just pretend it's doing something :p

  This is a BWR.

  Thanks. And Yeah. The temperture of almost 10,000c is going to destroy pretty much anything it comes into contact with.

  NuclearPerson I'm not very experienced with fusion reactors, though I have seen some nice ones others have made. I wonder of it's possible to make one of destructible materials like titanium and ceramic if the fusion happens in mid air inside the chamber. I just like the risk when destructible materials are involved, but the temperature might make it impossible though.

  temelin Answer 2: There are 5 pressure sensors for the turbine and they are set to 2,4,6,8 and 10 pressure. Each level doubles power generation. When the pressure is 10 the gauge reads ca 9.7, because of its placement. It also has 5 heat sensors set to 200c,275,375c,400c and 650c, and the turbine require both the heat and pressure to work.

  temelin Thank you! Answer on question 1: The reason the water isn't prefilled is mostly because I wanted it to be a challenge for players to find ut themselves what would be the right amount of water. But I changed my mind about that (it's too tedious). I kinda like that it starts with no water, it gives you something to do while waiting for the reactor to warm up. I might change it if people hate it though.

  NuclearPerson Thanks again! I really like nuclear reactors, so it was very fun to design this. I'm really impressed with the possibilities in Powdertoy, because I didn't belive it was possible to build this, but the game surprised me many times. I might build something else in the future, but I haven't decided what to do next. Good luck with becoming a Nuclear engineer!

  This is literary my favorie model of a nucelar reactor. I have a few questions. Why the water in steam generator is not prefilled already? And how much pressure is mst effective for the turbine?
