Light Energy Structure

## About

This is the primary reactor of the facility. It's located in Sublevel 2 and 3, in section Zeta.

During normal operations, the reactor can generate up to 771 - 1140 GW at max efficency within 1255 - 2112 Kelvin. The reactor core is protected by a Radiation Filtering Shield, which keeps the core temperature in stable ranges and prevents most of the radiation from damaging and disturbing reactor systems. There are also 4 Radiation Filters which filters out excess radiation. These components make the reactor chamber safe to entry without the need of hazmat suits.

There are 4 Stabilizers to keep the reactor stable while extracting power from the reactor core and 6 Structural Beams which serve the purpose of maintaining the reactor structure and boosting the efficiency of other components.

Temperature and RFS integrity are the most important components in the reactor. If the RFS integrity is too low or the temperature is too high, there's a high risk of a thermal runaway occuring.

## History

This is the 5th generation of the Lithium Solaris Reactor. On this version, the Construction Team and Architectual Team agreed on renaming the reactor to "Light Energy Structure". The announcements switched in addition, however the labels remain unchanged.

The first version of the LSR was constructed by a small group of people in a large warehouse. Although it does work, its efficiency is too low to even generate power. The group then made a newer model which can actually generate power, with some tweaks from the old model. They were suprised by how "good" the reactor was. The reactor continued to work for few months before stalling on its own. The team tried to replace the fuel capsules, however the moment they inserted the third capsule in, the reactor exploded and killed everyone inside due to it still being plugged into the converter.

Years after the incident, people managed to find a blueprint of the LSR v2, and a company called "Nydus Research" decided to make a fusion reactor based on the design that failed, and they've succeeded. The reactor managed to generate up to 580 GW at max efficency. The designs were then used in more facilities at that time. The LSR v3 had to cease it's operations due to the cost of maintenance being too high for some companies to even afford it.

Realizing this problem, Nydus Research decided to change its power source from oil and plasma to a new material called "Lithium". A more efficient, higher efficiency and lower production cost material. However, 30 minutes after having started the reactor, the operators received system warnings due to "fuel incompatibility". A few weeks pass by, and the workers manage to tweak the reactor to make it work with the new fuel source. The results were fascinating. But then, a new problem arises: ***The radiation the reactor emits.*** The use of hazmat suits due to radiation emitted brings a lot of inconvenience to both operators and visitors. At that time, the radiation levels in the chamber were around 5 to 7 sieverts. The engineers thought of an idea, which was to make a device that filters out radiation from the chamber. On it's testing phase, it worked... *quite well.* It was then placed into the chamber and since, the chamber is safe for entry without the need of hazmat suits while allowing visitors to get a closer view of the reactor.

The facility that was used to hold the reactor was turned into an actual research facility, allowing more research to be made on pretty much anything. Everything worked so well... ***until one day.***

15 years later, a newly designed research facility with the new reactor was built, making it one of the most advanced facilities in that timeline: **Solaris Research Database.**
