Silver Valley Nuclear Generating Station

Silver Valley Nuclear Generating Station in Silver Valley, Eliland

Silver Valley Nuclear Generating Station (SVNGS) is a nuclear power station located northeast of Silver Valley. It is owned and operated by Silver Valley Electric, and has three active reactors. It was designed and built by BrokenHerobrine.

The current station is located on the site of the old facility that operated during OBW 5 2.0.

## Points of Interest

### Entrance

The station's front serves as a reception and security area. All visitors and employees must pass through an inventory scanner and be cleared by security to enter. The same procedure applies on exit.

### Control Room

Up a staircase, the control room overlooks the three units. Inside of it are many screens and buttons for operators. The room is only partially functional however, leading many to question the safety of the station.

### Reactor Hall

On the ground level, the reactor hall comes immediately after the suit-up room. Visitors and employees must don a radiation-shielding suit and check their dosimeter at all times. The reactors sit in shallow pools, although this water provides a very significant barrier to the release of radiation. Spent fuel pools adjoin each unit. Upon exiting, all must decontaminate themselves in the shower and return their radiation suit.

### Reactor Sub-level

Down a centrally-located cargo elevator, the reactor sub-level spans beneath the three units. Much machinery operates on this level, sometimes causing issues, most notably being the Ticking Block Entity Crash. Pipes connect water from the intakes on the lake to the reactors, and high pressure steam is funneled to the turbine hall. This sub-level is also where uranium is processed and turned into nuclear fuel. The entire process is handled by machine.

### Turbine Hall and Cooling Towers

To the right of the entrance, the turbine hall is positioned central to the two cooling towers. High pressure steam enters the single turbine and expands into low pressure steam, the process of which spins the turbine and generates electricity. The steam is then piped to the cooling towers where it is released into the air. The ribbed bottom of the tower provides an intake for air to create an updraft. A second cooling tower is under construction.

### Shipping and Receiving Garage

Next to the cooling towers there is a small garage for shipping and receiving. A train line runs adjacent to this garage, facilitating the transfer of spent fuel casks.

### Alie N. Nuclear Laboratory

The facility also maintains a nuclear laboratory for experimenting with nuclear isotopes. It was named in honor of Alie N., an alien killed on a SpaceseX mission by SVNGS builder BrokenHerobrine.

### Warehouse and Waste Casks

Outside of the facility is a warehouse where light machinery handles some routine work, such as the creation of RadAway. The warehouse also has a Sexaton-3000, a vintage, one of a kind jukebox from 1969. Outside, concrete casks store nuclear waste safely.

## Involvement in the OBW Holy War

The station's creation of high level nuclear isotopes made it a target during the OBW Holy War by both sides seeking to expand nuclear weapons programs. BrokenHerobrine, the station's owner, turned it over to the Church of Home Depot (which he is the Supreme Allied Commander of) as a part of the allied war effort.

BrokenHerobrine had expressed his desire for building a fortress on the station's site, and plans were underway to do so before the Treaty of Krecent ended the war. As a part of the treaty, the station was returned to the ownership of SVEC.

## Reactors

The station currently operates three solid fuel fission reactors with different uranium and plutonium fuel mixes.

All three reactors feed to one highly efficient turbine that converts the steam produced into usable energy.

Reactor Outputs
 Steam Production (mB/t)
 Energy Production (RF/t)

## Radiation

The station produces a measurable amount of radiation, although the majority is contained within the bounds of the power station. Additionally, its significant distance from the city also serves as a buffer to prevent citizens from being exposed to too much radiation. However, dosimetry and possible treatment with RadAway is available for concerned citizens at the Black Ridge Clinic.

Radiation is measured in Rads, on the following scale: Rad (highest), mRad, uRad, nRad, pRad, fRad (lowest).

## Old Station

    The old power station, located at the same site as the new one, was torn down at the start of OBW 5 3.0. At the same location, the new station that operates today was built. The station's only reactor was permanently switched off on April 24, 2021. It was rated for up to 50,000 gJ/T. The reactor slowly depleted its fuel requiring occasional but expensive maintenance, as the fuel could only be found on the planet Nibiru. The reactor itself was later repurposed for temporary use to supply Black Ridge with power at the start of OBW 5 3.0.
