| | Nuclear power is an alternative setup for endgame power generation, trading a much more complex setup for increased energy density compared to conventional burner power. It might refer also to the [[Nuclear power (reasearch)|technology]], or the overal workings of extraction and processing of [[uranium-235]] and [[uranium-238]]. |

| Nuclear power is an alternative setup for endgame power generation, trading a much more complex setup for increased energy density compared to conventional burner power. It was introduced in 0.15.0. It might refer to the researched technology, or the overal workings of extraction and processing of [[Uranium-235]] and [[Uranium-238]].
| | == Electric power generation == |
|
| |
|
| === Technologies ===
| | In general, nuclear power is produced by mining [[uranium ore]], [[Uranium processing|processing]] it to [[uranium-235]] and [[uranium-238]] and creating [[uranium fuel cell]]s from the two. These fuel cells are then burned in a [[nuclear reactor]] to create heat. The heat can be used to convert [[water]] to [[steam]] using a [[heat exchanger]] and the steam can be consumed by [[steam turbine]]s to produce power. For more info, see [[Tutorial:Nuclear power]]. |
