Its really simple actually, You need enriched uranium or any active isotope, an alloy or material as casing around it, that can slow down the splitting and emitting of neutrons (like he said in the video, boron control rods), some basic fluid engineering to get the heat around, make sure to use non-empty copper heat pipes, the ones that have the circulating liquids inside (if you are building a small one, for bigger ones this would break them), Then put a layer of lead-foam and lead sheets around the entire core, also the entire thing needs to be suspended in water or else the waste-particles will hit and harm people, and remember Lead is toxic to handle!!! make sure youre protected!, Then the rest is optional: connect the heat system to boiler, add Emergency cooling liquids, high pressure hydraulics that are isolated from the entire reactor letting you shoot the boron rods up in an emergency yadayada, the rest should be self explanatory 👍 Literally the only hard part is getting enriched isotopes
additional safety tips: Nuclear material does not glow! the only thing that might glow is the radiation slowing down in the water tank! If it glows in any other way, that means a chemical has contaminated your fuel, and the fuel is making the chemical glow, The chances of this are impossible but idk what you got in your shed
It truly is funny how every single type of power literally just involves spinning a turbine to make energy. Hydrothermic? Turbines. Nuclear energy? Glorified coal power plant. Coal power plant? FUCKING TURBINE. A WIND TURBINE? JUST ANOTHER TURBINE. EVERTHING IS A TURBINE. YOU ARE A TURBINE. EMBRACE TURBINITY@@TheMiataGuy
The Reactor would be scalable, if you want to make a bigger reactor all you need to do is add more parts eg more turbines, more boilers, more pumps, more nuclear fuel
Depends on how many rods you are using, if you only have 1 fuel rod then that makes sense but if you have multiple there might be another problem, there is also the fuel you are using, I recommend using Uranium based fuel as it is the easiest and simplest fuel
@@TheMiataGuy I had no fuel rods the problem was the moderators by themselves where heating up over 10000c and any fuel placed would cause meltdown. And since everything is connected to each other, if I where to cool it down, it would heat up again and I would have no need for me to make the reactor. And I don’t think a self sustainable system would even work in the real world! Plus any bit of heat would trigger the loop even something that is just 90c!
Hey, my reactor won't work. I put the stuff into the turbine, but when I heat the boiler it doesn't do anything. Do I need to connect the heat pipe to a separate part? I'm really confused.
The turbine get's really hot, up to 15000 degrees which makes the objects that are near to it die immediately, how can I fix that without disabling the ambient temperature?
@@TheMiataGuy LU-235, the most simple one, which doesn't really heat up, I made the reactor with rods, which stop the process, but yet whenever it reaches the end and the electricity I am receiving is a significant loss, I still somehow make the turbines overheat, if I connect them to towers nothing changes, the towers overheat as well.
Pumps do not make any audible or visible changes when turned on, put a pipe into a shower head and if water comes out then its pumping, make sure that you've also placed the pump in water
In real life, it is impossible for rods to explode, and even a reactor does not explode "yeah yeah but fukushima and chernobyl" Chernobyl was steam, under so much pressure it blew the lid off, and unbelivebaly hot, second explosion is supposed mostly to be hydrogen (water is mostly made of hydrogen, which when it comes in contact with hydrogen, goes boom). Fukushima, it was hydrogen build up in the reactor containements, vent stacks evacuated the gases in the torus because the pressure in torus was incredibely high and needed do be reduced in order to keep cooling the reactor, and when hydrogen was evacuated, it went boom in contact of oxyegn for 3 reactors, 1 explosion was in the torus because of pressure.
@@OhKopo My guy, it's a simple game, it will never be able to model nuclear fusion or fission or power in general, its a game, best it has is the ability to explode, it'd be cool if the reactor could meltdown causing an elephants foot like Chernobyl but it's a game, it's not going to model anything perfect, now stop reading Wikipedia articles to make yourself sound smart and go outside.
If I'm remembering right, the fuel reprocessor is the one you put the square nuclear material blocks in the top of it to make fuel rods, I've only ever tested it with uranium so I'm not sure if anything else works,
Ok now I need a tutorial for one in real life

thanks you very much,i have made my first reactor based on LED-235
thank you so much this helped so much
great video, im pretty stupid so this helped
Real reactors are built in water because water is a natural radiation absorber, but in PPG I don't think Zooi coded that lol.
They also build them in water for easy access to coolant and steam

now i can make a movie about chernobyl in people playground
My fuel repprosseser isn't working it says it needs 1000 electric charges.
When I do everything exactly how u did it, it starts generating power for a brief moment and then it stop
can you make a more advanced tutorial please?, i want to make a big nuclear reactor

is it normal that the graphite moderators heat up by themselves preventing the creation of a reactor due to intense heat?

nvm when a meltdown happens it heats up the area and to fix this i had to turn off ambient temperatures
@@declanstetz8046 or just select all the parts of the reactor and set the temperature to 20
@@TheMiataGuyCan you do a control rod tutorial?
Hey, my reactor won't work. I put the stuff into the turbine, but when I heat the boiler it doesn't do anything. Do I need to connect the heat pipe to a separate part? I'm really confused.
You gotta pump water into the boiler then pump the steam from the boiler into the turbine
@@TheMiataGuy Yes i put water into the boiler, but it makes no steam. Do I need to activate the pumps or anything? How deep do they have to be
@@notlegoguy2511 pretty sure you have to activate the pumps, but as long as they are in any water source and your boiler has heat it should work
fuel thing didnt work for me
i cannot make an fuel, help please

Water cooling eg cooling towers, make sure to connect the towers to the turbines with heat pipes
@@TheMiataGuy I did, it instantly overheated
@@havesomestarberries what fuel are you using?

@@havesomestarberries how many fuel rods are you using? And also how many barriers have you got
Generator not working
chernobyl
My pumps aren’t turning on

Why do I have these rods exploding?
Your fuel is overheating, different fuels overheat at different temperatures, and fuel rods need the reactors to stay cool enough to not explode
Bc they can reach max temperature, this is why they can esplode.
In real life, it is impossible for rods to explode, and even a reactor does not explode "yeah yeah but fukushima and chernobyl" Chernobyl was steam, under so much pressure it blew the lid off, and unbelivebaly hot, second explosion is supposed mostly to be hydrogen (water is mostly made of hydrogen, which when it comes in contact with hydrogen, goes boom).

the fuel reprocessor dosent work
