What if I took a swim in a typical spent nuclear fuel pool?

TL DR: the only safer source of power than nuclear is Hydro, and then only if you're in the US. other risk: radiation could attract leviathans.nuclear risk: the reactor could loose 1% repair each day and create incidents below 50% repair, blowing up the base at 0%.waste disposal: burned rods should radiate for a week before vanishing (not years like in RL), making a seperate disposal base necessary.radiation: rods and the reactor room should be radioactive and bulkheads needed to seal the reactor from the base.power level: (already getting reworked).longevity: the rods should run for a week but need far more uranite (20x or more).We could just label it "Superadvanced Bioreactor" - no difference, other than needing uranite instead biomaterial. Summary: The nuclear reactor doesn't feel "nuclear" at all, with advantages as well as disadvantages. We have no nuclear waste disposal problem other than having a special bin to drop the rods into it with no other disadvantages. Only a difference from power to the bioreactor and the complexity to forge rods for it to work. We have no "nuclear" power level and length, no "nuclear" risk and not even radiation distinguishing the reactor from the others. They act more like coal rods with being labeled nuclear than displaying true nuclear power. So the rods burn down much too fast and many players don't like that. Even considering the nuclear tech in the game future is less good, the rods should work for the whole game time. When you first dive into Subnautica you will notice a plethora of raw materials around you that have the potential to be used to craft different items.In real life nuclear reactors can run the reactor rods for a few years before replacing them. Certain fragments or data boxes wont spawn if one has already obtained the Blueprints and didnt load. Large Wrecks contain valuable technology in the form of Fragments and sometimes Data Boxes or Supply Crates while Small Wrecks contain only a limited amount of fragments.

However some are easier to find than others especially once you are tasked with traveling further from your Lifepod in order to collect different specimens.Ĭyclops Thermal Reactor Module Location Subnautica Youtube The Wrecks are explorable pieces of debris from the Aurora.
