Nucleares - In-Depth Beginner's Tutorial and Startup (with Chemicals module) (v2.0 Patch 177)

I haven't done an in-depth beginner's guide since the updates from patch 176 and 177, so here it is! In this video I go into a bit of detail on the different panels, the concept of how the plant works and each system works together, and at the end I demonstrate a simple startup method. This is for reactor version 2.0 and patch 177 and I have the chemical add-on enabled. Nucleares official discord link:   / discord   Here's my checklist I use at home for starting a reactor from a new game: 1. ACTIVATE all terminals 2. RCV: OPEN 3. RCV: CLOSED (once Core Vessel Level = 2390) 4. Boron Dosing Pump: 50 5. External power: ON 6. Generators: MANUAL 7. PZR thermostat: ON 8. PZR heaters: ON 9. Condenser vacuum Pump: ON 10. Resistor bank: ON 11. Verify Bypass set to 000 12. Verify MSCV set to 000 -- Once Core Vessel Pressure ≥ 150bar -- 13. Operating mode: NOMINAL 14: LOAD fuel 15: Primary pump: ON; set to 15 16. Condenser pump: ON; set to 001 17. Verify condenser vacuum = 100 18. Control rods: SET to 90 -- Once STG temperature ≥ 100°C -- 19. Secondary pump: ON; set to 25 (SLOW) 20. Request STARTUP from city 21. Monitor Core Temp; adjust rods as necessary 22. Monitor Boron Concentration; stop dosing at 3110 (for goal of about 3100 ppm) -- Once Turbine RPM ≥ 3050 RPM -- 23. Utilize Synchroscope; stop dot in middle top position at 3060 RPM -- Once dot is GREEN -- 24. Verify "SYNC" GREEN 25.
