Just came up with this design: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner…eea2pdbuhicpxs0
As you can see it doesn't involve any water cooling and has a pretty good cell charge rate. A HUGE cooldown period though. However water could be released via a piston mechanism once the cycle is complete to cool it down almost twice as fast.
Okay so, I constructed my first breeder last night fully prepaired for some careful timekeeping. Unfortunately, not everything went as planned a I'm now left with a crater where my reactor once was (although thankfully mitigated due to my containment procedures).
Now I'm wondering if there's such a thing as a "safe" breeder, although obviously not going to be the most efficient interms of uranium in to uranium out I believe this is the best option for SMP (Where you might not always be present etc).
I just came up with this design: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner…ey7wfaypmz379kw
I'm wondering if this will work? Will I be able to just plonk in the depleted isotopes and return some time later to (if the odds permit) 4 re-enriched Uranium cells?
Note that the heat never exceeds 50% heat and thus the local water should never evaporate (this is partially why my original breeder exploded). Does anyone have any better designs for "safe" breeders?
