Title: Large Nuclear Plant
Post by: RadicalOne on October 20, 2010, 06:29:15 PM
I have been having issues with the nuclear plant. Namely, needing five or six of them in a small city.
So I decided I would design my own "turbocharged" one.
Or at least a much larger one, with two reactors linked by a particle bridge - inspired by the LHC design - and three cooling towers with heat sink fins.
And of course a more modern design and some neon.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_Smiley.png%3Ft%3D1260054264&hash=8987390fce46d41a62a62f0fdf7fda5a66121449)
How is it?

The actual stats are about six times the power production, four point five times the cost to run, and about six times the cost to plop. 6x7 Lot.


Oh:
Do not mistreat this plant, or you might not like the results. Unless of course, you like glowing in the dark, even if you live thirty kilometers away.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_Laugh.png%3Ft%3D1260054264&hash=f5c628647cb1c02e46615784f845351192df1985)

Night lighting is always one of the facets of BATing I try to make as attractive as possible.

Well, the cooler towers could have a lighter color. They are too dark in my opinion. But the rest is really cool  :thumbsup:

They are made from titanium carbide, a material I regularly work with in real life. I chose it because it is enormously heat resistant, shock resistant, lightweight, and very strong. How strong? It coats the inside of the fusion reactor with which I work.
