Double Unit Nuclear Heating Plant

Nuclear Heating Plant with a heating power of 2040 GJ/day. With it's 34 big heat pipe connection, it can feed a large city with district heating. Nuclear Heating Plants are not cheap, using the special integral thermal reactor AST-500, which also companies in the USSR originally failed in the forst attempt to build it. So it costs around 600.000 RUB and make only sense for big cities to heat.

General decription of Nuclear Heating Plants:
EN: Nucler Heating Plants (in the USSR AST) was a concept for heating of large cities. Two projects in the citys of Gorky (today Nizhny Novgorod) and Voronezh where build but never finished, because outside of a planning economy it's not competive to other heating sources from coal, oil or gas. Both plants comprising of two AST-500 heating reactors. This heating plant is a replica of the station at Gorky. The AST-500 heating reactors whith it's passive and integral design was well ahead of it's time and very complex. With it's safety features, it was possible to build it 2 km from city boundary. After the end of the USSR, the construction was suspended. At Voronezh, the first democratic referendum of Russia forced the cancallation, at Gorky construction was not resumed after 1991.

DE: Kernheizwerke (in der UdSSR AST) war ein Konzept zur Beheizung von großen Städten. Zwei Projekte in den Städten Gorki (heute Nischni Nowgorod) und Woronesch wurden errichtet aber niemals fertiggestellt, da außerhalb einer Planwirtschaft es nicht konkurrenzfähig war zu anderen Wärmequellen wie Kohle, Öl oder Gas. Beide Anlagen bestehen aus zwei AST-500 Heizreaktoren. Dieses Kernheizwerk ist ein Replika der Anlage in Gorki. Der AST-500 Heizreaktor war mit seinem passiven und integralen Design seine Zeit weit voraus und sehr komplex. Mit seinen Sicherheitseigenschaften war es möglich ihn in 2 km von der Stadtgrenze entfernt zu errichten. Nach dem Ende der UdSSR wurde der Bau gestoppt. In Woronesch führte das erste demokratische Referendum zur Stornierung, in Gorki wurde der Bau nach 1991 nicht wieder aufgenommen.

Many thanks to Benco54 for helping me to finish this mod, some problems was driving me crazy. :)
