Nucleares - Startup Guide with Chemicals (v2.0 Patch 177)

On the heels of my first swing at using chemicals, this should serve as a guide for those looking for a step-by-step guide to getting a new reactor up and running with the chemicals add-on enabled. See below for my checklist. 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 100 -- Once Core Vessel Pressure ≥ 150bar -- 13. Operating mode: NOMINAL 14: LOAD fuel 15: Primary pump: ON; set to 50 (MEDIUM) 16. Condenser pump: ON; set to 25 (SLOW) 17. Verify condenser vacuum = 100 18. Control rods: SET to 90 -- Once STG pressure ≥ 60bar -- 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 -- 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. Circuit breaker: CLOSE -------------------------------- 0:00 - Intro 1:22 - Pre-startup prep 3:55 - Reactor start 15:10 -Chem system tips; Startup complete 20:30 - Output adjustments 22:55 - Outro
