It's slightly based upon this concept: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/10/visions-now-next#/next

"Using helium as a coolant has at least a couple of advantages. For one thing, it’s inert, so it can’t become radioactive like the water in water-cooled plants. For another, gas reactors are more efficient at generating electricity than water-cooled ones, because they run much hotter. That heat, produced carbon free, has gotten the attention of chemical, fertilizer, and oil companies. Though it’s still in the developmental stage, “this technology could be a real game changer,” says Fred Moore of Dow Chemical."

Few differences: The uranium is not stored in pellets, it uses hydrogen instead of helium and the turbines are only indirectly powered by a gas(by water vapour and NOT by the hydrogen)

It does not use clone apart from the water thing but I'll fix that later on.
It's also a prototype so changes will likely be made.

Post suggestions if you'd like ;)

BuysDB:

I like your concept (+1). In the final version you could choose for a model that has a block usage 0 and uses as much breakables as possible. Secondly you could take a look to your heat exchanger, it isn't doing a very great job at the moment.

I think you could improve the heat exchanger by heating the water under pressure so it will not evaporate inside the heat exchanger itself. When the super heated water leaves the heat exchanger it will turn to steam caused by the lower pressure. And of course you should increase the heat exchanger surface.

Thanks a lot!
And yes, this is full-wall as I didn't have much time, it was a quickie. Will spend more time on it tomorrow, as that's Saturday ;)

And I do like making fully-destructible creations, too. (For instance, check out my 'dual smelter') ;)

I think BOYL will work very well, as URAN heats up with pressure.. And BOYL makes pressure with heat ;)


Edit: Need to experiment more with BOYL, but this one is almost fully destructible and works well ;)
