I haven’t done much research on nuclear fission system. Personally, I prefer chemical industry (that’s why I’ve been putting forward those suggestions on Chemistry), and I don’t have much game time, so I’m not too interested. But I have some thoughts to say here:
- Cobalt 60 should not be used as nuclear fuel. As far as I know, although it has radiation, it will only decay, emit beta rays and gamma rays, not neutrons, and will not fission under neutron bombardment. So I don’t know why it’s used as a nuclear fuel, maybe just because it’s a radioisotope?
- The commonplace things about uranium-238 and uranium-235. Probably due to IC2, the uranium ingot in gt6 is not a mixture of a large amount of uranium-238 and a small amount of uranium-235, but uranium-238. However, in many other nuclear industry mod, uranium ingots are a mixture of two nuclides. This makes the isotope separation of gt6 very strange. Although this is really not a big problem, it may lead to a method of converting uranium-238 to uranium-235 through the mineral dictionary.
- For coolant, in addition to those added, Na-K alloy can also be considered. This is added in NC. In addition, there is ammonia in ReC, although I don’t seem to have seen that ammonia is used as coolant in real reactors, and ammonia can’t be synthesized now.
- This is my own UF6 loop and flow chart. I know this layout is a waste of space. There must be a better method, but at least it can operate normally. Recycling fluorite is really a troublesome thing. This cycle generally inputs uraniite and silicon dioxide, and outputs uranium-238, uranium-235, silicon and oxygen (I electrolyze water)
