How Nuclear Power and Reprocessing Work and How to Build Them

What this layout shows

Watch the reprocessing line that runs from Uranium Waste all the way to Ficsonium Fuel Rod.

Process Uranium into Uranium Fuel Rod and send it to the Nuclear Power Plants.
Route the Uranium Waste that comes back out into reprocessing, beginning with Non-Fissile Uranium.
Turn the reprocessed material into Plutonium Pellet, then Encased Plutonium Cell, then fuel rods.
Convert the plutonium waste into Ficsonium and carry it through to Ficsonium Fuel Rod.
The fuel rods chosen for power go to the Nuclear Power Plants, while Ficsonium Fuel Rod is taken out as the end of the reprocessing chain.

These are not fixed illustrative figures: they are solved again on game data 1.1.x every time the static pages are generated.

These figures come from solving this template at build time.

Raw resource required from outside	Rate	Unit
Water	511.13	m³/min
Copper Ore	266.97	items/min
Iron Ore	87.85	items/min
SAM	81.22	items/min
Limestone	76.20	items/min
Coal	42.81	items/min
Nitrogen Gas	16.50	m³/min
Raw Quartz	10.16	items/min
Crude Oil	1.92	m³/min

Put a generous buffer in front of each waste stage so that a stall downstream never reaches the reactors.
Keep the radioactive area away from the factory proper, and protect yourself with walls, distance and Iodine-Infused Filters.
Before starting, run the acids, water and supporting materials in first and confirm that the reprocessing line can accept them.

Opens the planner with the targets, alternate recipes, generator types and fuels already loaded. Change the target rates to match your own factory.
