Twin nuclear pressurized water reactor

Description
Pressurized water reactors (PWRs) constitute the large majority of the world's nuclear power plants (notable exceptions being Japan and Canada) and are one of three types of light-water reactor (LWR), the other types being boiling water reactors (BWRs) and supercritical water reactors (SCWRs). In a PWR, the primary coolant (water) is pumped under high pressure to the reactor core where it is heated by the energy released by the fission of atoms. The heated water then flows to a steam generator where it transfers its thermal energy to a secondary system where steam is generated and flows to turbines which, in turn, spin an electric generator. In contrast to a boiling water reactor, pressure in the primary coolant loop prevents the water from boiling within the reactor. All LWRs use ordinary water as both coolant and neutron moderator.

PWRs were originally designed to serve as nuclear marine propulsion for nuclear submarines and were used in the original design of the second commercial power plant at Shippingport Atomic Power Station.

PWRs currently operating in the United States are considered Generation II reactors. Russia's VVER reactors are similar to U.S. PWRs. France operates many PWRs to generate the bulk of its electricity.

The power of this nuclear power plant is totally 2826 Mwd

Consumption of nuclear full is 0.030t per day
Ecological damage is 6.60t per year

Textures are token from the developer.
Modeling is by me, Benco54.

The factory is ready for the new update. The heating is deactivated.

and in addition to the fact that the plant produces hazardous waste, this code eliminates hazardous waste so that the plant does not produce hazardous waste.

The bank refuses to update the water pipe inlet and the wastewater outlet for the nuclear plant but down there this is the code to update the nuclear plant

Theres a bug where one of the heating pipe connectors doesn't work

so lovely to have a variety of buildings

This is my favorite power plant on the workeshoppe

Okay, I had a rough eyeballing of AKW Beznau based on photography, using the 5 storey admin building in the front the hangers behind, and some measurement done on google map itself for comparison, the height and size up are of both real life NPP, with a smaller footprint for AKW Beznau naturally compare with Chernobyl.

The containment building itself could easily hit 8~10 storey only shy of those soviets reactors by ~1 storey difference if not the same height as the single unit, instead of 1/2, with a diameter of 39m to a width 25m~27m by ~60m length, respectively.

The supporting buildings surrounding are about 5~6 storey which is appropriate by your scaling, though I have trouble finding 1-3 storey building close enough for both NPP.

I think a bit of upscaling on the reactor height and diameter would make it more impressive if not realistic.

Thanks I go have a look. The vanilla are based on RBMK 1000, almost the same layout as chernobyl design, with only with a number of rearrangement done for the single unit designs. I understand they are kinda large by reactor standards in the 70s-80s. It might be a factor.

cant really say which type of NPP the vanilla is, i think also RBMK, but who know? the blueprint for my NPP is the AKW Beznau in Switzerland, checkt that on google. Isnt so big ;-)

Again I had to applaud to your great work, however after building it next to the single reactor, I can't help but notice the scales of this building and the vanilla seems a bit off? I am not too sure if the size difference of actual PWR and RBMK are actually that huge(towards double the height), as I can only gauge from google map(which is about the same size oddly)

thumbs up to your work!
