NUCLEARES checklist

⁃ activate all levers (8)
⁃ Fuel panel: Reactor operation mode dial: nominal
⁃ Fuel panel: Insert in Core (fuel block)
⁃ Pressurisation: heaters ON
⁃ Pressurisation: check heating power HIGH
⁃ Coolant system: dial ordered MEDIUM
⁃ Coolant system - circulation pumps: START all the pumps you currently have
⁃ Coolant system - all freight pumps: LOAD
[if restarting, also set core outer vessel dial to LOAD]
⁃ Condenser panel - coolant flow speed - ordered dial to FAST, then START condenser
⁃ [first time only] While awaiting pressurisation, iPad 75k loan 4 weeks
⁃ [first time only] While awaiting pressurisation: iPad buy AO control rods, pressure, maintenance
⁃ Pressurisation: await pressure & temperature green
⁃ Pressurisation: heating power dial LOW
[if restarting, check water level is above control rods before proceeding]
⁃ Coolant system - all freight pumps: OFF
[if restarting, also set core outer vessel dial to OFF]
⁃ Control rods - keypad: 98 SET
[will be a lower number in an upgraded plant & as core fuel reduces]
While awaiting critical reaction: Energy generation - Resistor banks ON, Compensator ON, Turbine bypass 33%
[if restarting an upgraded plant, increase initial bypass to suit]
⁃ Await critical reaction
⁃ Steam generators: START all the generators you currently have
⁃ Steam generator - coolant flow speed: dial MEDIUM [FAST if restarting upgraded plant]
⁃ Pressurisation: heaters OFF
[if restarting, breaker should be OPEN]
[if restarting an upgraded plant, monitor generated energy closely and adjust turbine bypass to avoid overloading resistors]
⁃ Energy generation - await 150kw [if restarting an upgraded plant, it will require more energy]
⁃ Internal or external supply: STOP/OFF
⁃ Await reactor temp 250deg
[will be higher in an upgraded plant, needs to be near green band]
⁃ Ipad AO turn on
⁃ iPad AO activate control rods & pressure functions
⁃ iPad request start operation
⁃ Await operation start time
⁃ Synchroscope: raise and lower speed (blue panel) to center dot
⁃ Circuit breaker CLOSE when holding synchronised (sync is shown as two green dots on synchroscope)
⁃ Synchroscope: increase/decrease voltage (green panel) to match grid
⁃ Turbine bypass 0 when feeding grid
[if restarting an upgraded plant, monitor generated energy closely and adjust turbine bypass to avoid over-revving turbine]
