    Ok guys, I'm gonna try to do a realistic BWR reactor, I will use as less indestructible parts as possible. It will contain the following (please read before commenting):


    REACTOR CHARACTERISTICS

    Reactor type: BWR.
    Rods position: Up for more power and down for less power.
    Reactor material: TTAN.
    Fuel rods type: Uranium (URAN) and Boyle gas (BOYL).
    Optimal/stable reactor temperature: 200-300°C.
    Reactor moderator type: WATR or DSTW (not sure which one of both).
    Turbine type: Steam+minimum pressure required to generate power.


    INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS

    - Water temperature indicator
    - Fuel rods temperature indicators
    - Reactor pressure indicator
    - Reactor water level indicator
    - Condenser water level indicator
    - Control rods position
    - Turbine pressure indicator
    - Alarms panel

    REACTOR CONTROLS


    General Reactor
    Controls
    - Control rod selection panel
    - Control rods position mover
    - Pressure valves

    MCCP Controls
    - Feedwater pumps 1 and 2+Feedwater valves
    - Reactor water drain valves

    Turbine Controls
    - Main turbine valve
    - Bypass and steam valve
    - Turbine Trip/Stop valves
    - Turbine power generation

    Condenser Controls
    - Recirculation valves
    - Condenser drain valves

    Electrical Panel
    - Startup transformer
    - Main bus (powered when turbine runs)
    - Diesel-powered auxiliar Buses 1 and 2

    Emergency Safety Systems
    - SCRAM: It will trip the reactor, drop out the control rods, trip the turbine and relief the steam and pressure (shutdown the reactor).
    - LPCI (Low Pressure Coolant Injection): It will inject water to the reactor. Necessary when water level is low.
    - Emergency Steam Relief: It will eject the steam and pressure.
    - Diesel-powered auxiliar buses 1 and 2: They will generate auxiliar power in case of the startup transformer breaks or offsite power gets lost.


    PROGRESS

        Part 1: Planification (completed)
        Part 2: Investigation (completed)
        Part 3: Physics testing (completed)
    → Part 4: Building a prototype
        Part 5: Testing the prototype
        Part 6: Building the final version
        Part 7: Testing
        Part 8: Deco-coloring the save
        Part 9: Final testing
        Part 10: Release

    NOTE: The reactor characteristics may be changed.

    I hope you like it, a support may be helpful for me to continue this project (not obligatory), Have a nice day.
