Notably, this makes it much, much easier and more profitable to use highly enriched fuel than in a solid fuel reactor.The heat amount for a fuel per tick is equal to the solid fuel's energy output per tick ( NOT the solid fuel's heat output!). While filled with fuel, fission vessels produce heat and slowly turn fuel into depleted fuel.Coolant heaters must be placed correctly to have any effect! The placement rules depend on the liquid coolant used and work the same way as the corresponding solid fuel coolants.Molten additives create coolants that remove more but have more stringent placement restrictions. For plain NaK this is 3600 H per mB of coolant converted. While filled with cold coolant, coolant heaters produce hot coolant, and also remove a certain amount of heat from the reactor."Heat multiplier" multiplies how much heat the fission vessels produce, and thus how much heat your coolant heaters must disperse.It has no effect on actual cooling power of the coolant! This is a multiplier on top of the base rate, which is 20 mB/s by default (changeable in config for instance, Enigmatica 2 and E2E set this to 16). "Efficiency" governs how quickly coolant heaters produce hot coolant.Internal arrangement of fission vessels, coolant heaters, and moderator blocks works exactly like solid fuel reactors.Right-click on a malformed reactor structure with an empty hand to find out what's wrong with it.Don't build reactors adjacent to each other.Interior can contain any number of Fission Vessels, Coolant Heaters, Moderator Blocks, or internal piping.Faces can contain any number of Vents, Fuel Distributors, Fuel Retrievers, and/or Redstone Ports.Must have exactly 1 Controller in some face.Unused blocks in faces must be Wall or Transparent Wall.The Fluorine and FLiBe salt solution can be recovered by centrifuging the depleted fuel solution, and then electrolyzing the molten fuel fluoride. It can be used on its own or mixed with an additive to improve its cooling properties. Eutectic NaK alloy is pumped through the reactor as a coolant. This is what will generate heat in the reactor. Fluoridated isotopes are created in the Chemical Reactor with Fluorine and the isotope of choice (in molten form)įLiBe salt solution is then mixed with the appropriate fluoridated isotopes, which are in turned mixed to create a FLiBe salt solution of fluoridated nuclear fuel.Molten Potassium is electrolyzed from Potassium Hydroxide.

Molten Sodium is electrolyzed from Sodium Hydroxide.Eutectic NaK alloy is created in the Salt Mixer with Molten Sodium and Molten Potassium.Hydrofluoric Acid is created in a Chemical Reactor with Sulfuric Acid and Fluorite Water.Fluorine is obtained by processing Hydrofluoric Acid in an Electrolyzer.Beryllium can be obtained by processing Andesite in a Rock Crusher.Lithium can be obtained from mining ore.Lithium Fluoride and Beryllium Fluoride are created in the Chemical Reactor with molten Lithium and molten Fluorine.FLiBE salt solution is created in the Salt Mixer with Lithium Fluoride and Beryllium Fluoride.To create these fluids, significant chemical engineering is required: Unlike conventional solid-fuel reactors MSRs use molten FLiBe salt solutions of nuclear fuel, and are actively cooled with molten Eutectic NaK alloy.
