== Nuclear Physics 101 ==

Welcome, to the Industrial Craft School of Nuclear-arity! 
Here, we shall give some tips and tricks to avoid turning your '''new home''' into a '''melting slag heap'''!

=== Step 1: Finding [[Uranium_Ore|Uranium Ore]] ===
[[file:Uranium_ore.png |200x200px| link=|right]]
There is no easy way to find Uranium Ore short of mining, mining, mining. It appears randomly in '''very''' small veins, and has been seen on the surface at sea level. It also appears rarely in the walls of caverns. It must be mined with an Iron or better Pickaxe, and will drop 1× [[Uranium]] when successfully mined.

=== Step 2: My First Reactor(tm) ===

The Chernobyl-2 [[Nuclear Reactor]] is expensive to build, relying as it does on hard-to-obtain elements like Glowstone and [[Copper Plate|Copper Plates]]. Don't expect to build one in your first week.

If you think you have the material to make one, then let's do it!

Advanced materials you will need:

*1 [[Advanced Circuit]]
*1 [[Generator]]
*3 [[Reactor Chamber|Reactor Chambers]]

Wait... what? Reactor chambers? What on Earth?
It's the core of the nuclear reactor, containing all your precious reactor components and fuel.
Well, hopefully containing it... more on that later.

First you'll need 12 Copper Plates (96 Copper in all) for the Reactor Chambers:
{{Grid/Machine
|Type=Compressor
|Top=Copper|IA=8
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)
|Output=Dense Copper Plate
}}
*Note: You have to Compress 8 Copper at once.

You can then use these to build your 3 Reactor Chambers:
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=|B1=Dense Copper Plate|C1=
|A2=Dense Copper Plate|B2=Machine|C2=Dense Copper Plate
|A3=|B3=Dense Copper Plate|C3=
|Output=Reactor Chamber
}}
Almost there!

Using the Generator, Advanced Circuit, and your new Reactor Chambers, craft the wonder that is the Chernobyl-2 Nuclear Reactor:
{{Grid/Crafting Table
|B1=Advanced Circuit
|A2=Reactor Chamber|B2=Reactor Chamber|C2=Reactor Chamber
|B3=Generator
|Output=Nuclear Reactor
}}

Congratulations! World Domination is a step closer to reality!

=== Step 3: Finding Your 3-Mile Island ===

Siting your [[Nuclear Reactor]] is crucial! '''Proximity and Containment''' is key here.

These two considerations are interdependent- heavily shielding a reactor with carefully placed [[Reinforced Stone]] means it can be safely sited quite close to your precious mansion/fortress/hobbithole; whereas an unshielded reactor should be sited far, far away from anything and everything you hold dear.

=== Step 4: Cooling ===

'''Cooling''' is absolutely vital.
[[Reactor Chamber|Reactor Chambers]], [[Cooling Cell|Cooling Cells]] and [[Integrated Heat Dispenser|Integrated Heat Dispensers]] will all have a positive effect on cooling. See the [[Nuclear Reactor]] page for a complete breakdown of heating and cooling in nuclear systems.

=== Step 5: The Green Glow ===

At this point, you should have a complete reactor, ideally situated inside a reinforced stone tank of water. No time for congratulations, though... we need fuel for the beast! Raw Uranium ore simply will not do, so it's time for:

=== Step 6: Cells of Plenty ===
So, how to we process Uranium, you ask? Easy!
You have to [[Compressor|Compress]] it into shiny new [[Uranium Fuel Ingot|Uranium Fuel Ingots]]:
{{Grid/Machine
|Type=Compressor
|Top=Uranium
|Bottom=RE Battery (Charged)
|Output=Refined Uranium
}}

Then shove those ingots into an [[Empty Cell]] to make a [[Uranium Cell]]!

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Empty Cell|B1=Uranium Fuel Ingot|C1=
|A2=|B2=|C2=
|A3=|B3=|C3=
|Output=Uranium Cell
}}

These are suitable for use in the Chernobyl-2 Reactor, each capable of outputting ''incredible'' amounts of power!

=== Step 7: The Soothing Hum of Power ===

Reactors are capable of outputting considerable power: '''each''' [[Uranium Cell]] will output 5 EU/tick, meaning that high-output Reactors need high-level infrastructure to avoid machinery damage: [[HV Transformer|HV_Transformers]], [[MFS_Unit|MFS Units]] and [[Glass_Fibre|Glass Fibre Cables]] are a common sight in a nuclear installation. Uranium Cells also have a considerable lifespan: each can produce between '''2,000,000 to 14,000,000 EU!'''

=== Step 8: Holy Fukushima! (with apologies to the easily offended!) ===

If the proper precautions are taken, a Nuclear plant is as safe as a solar panel.

When things '''do''' go wrong though - they go wrong in spectacular fashion. The resultant blast of an overheated reactor will level everything in a ~30 block radius that isn't Reinforced or Obsidian. Thankfully a [[Reinforced Door]] still provides protection even when open, but be careful of siting anything in line with the power cable output from the containment vessel, as this is the one weak point in any nuclear plant.

=== Further Reading ===
Nuclear reactors are very valuable, have enormous energy-producing potential, and without a doubt have a steep learning curve.

A complete breakdown of how each reactor component works is available on the IC2 forum [http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=446 Here], or on the [[Nuclear Reactor]] page of the wiki.

== Upload permissions ==
Hello, I am new to Industrial Craft 2, but I am ready to help. I have been wanting to add images to many of the pages that don't have them (such as Electric Circuit), but I do not permissions. Can I have permissions to upload files? [[User:ZealotArch|ZealotArch]] 23:56, 16 August 2013 (CEST)
===Hazmat Suit===
Thank you for taking care of the Hazmat suit on the navbar, however, we now have rubber boots under 2 sections, Hazmat and Utility.

===Files missing===
Hello Feanturi, thanks you for upload "Grid_Iron_Bars.png" from my last request.
The nuclear wiki is a bit more understandable :-)
But there is many other files missing.
Can you upload (or give me the right to do it) this files (for nuclear wiki page) :
- Grid_Heat_Vent.png
- Grid_Reactor_Heat_Vent.png
- Grid_Overclocked_Heat_Vent.png
- Grid_Advanced_Heat_Vent.png
- Grid_Reactor_Plating.png
- Grid_Containment_Reactor_Plating.png
- Grid_Heat-Capacity_Reactor_Plating.png
- Grid_Heat_Exchanger.png
- Grid_Advanced_Heat_Exchanger.png
- Grid_Core_Heat_Exchanger.png
- Grid_Component_Heat_Exchanger.png
Thank you in advance !

{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=eeyup|space=:|reply=you should be able to upload pictures and create pages^^}}
{{Reply|user=Dam_Fr|agree=eeyup|space=::|reply=Thanks you, all DONE, but for create pages I need much more courage and skills in IC² ;) PS : do you see that someone is hacking the Wiki by creating many fake user account ? Be careful, try to ban the IP witch does that ! }}
{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=|space=:::|reply=well that are many spambots, i know, we tried different captchas and such stuff but it doesnt really work >.>}}
{{Reply|user=Dam_Fr|agree=|space=::::|reply=Never whith the same IP adress ? Maybe try to stop account creation for 1 or 2 days... Or email verification ?}}
{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=|space=:::::|reply=Never the same IP and email verficated :/}}
{{Reply|user=Dam_Fr|agree=|space=::::::|reply=Hard ! The only solution is to manually validate account for a time... The wiki will not down if there is too many user ? }}
{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=|space=:::::::|reply=Don't really know :P but im thinking about just log into the db and remove manually all the spambots^^}}

===New Template===
I wanted to improve the information in some of the tables listing fuel types and usage so i created [[User:Exiton/sandbox|this]]. I figured i could make it into a tempate and inclue it at the bottom of all reliant articles so that it's easy to update any changes across the wiki. Thinking about makeing another one for EU usage across all the different machines, macerator, extractor, compressor etc... Anyway if you like it create a new template and ill move the data over and update the corresponding articles. Leave a message on my talk page.
* call it '''Template:Fuel Usage''' or something similar

==Update Tag Request==
Can you implement an update template and inline tag as found in wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Update) Have an optional argument to include the IC version it has been outdated from. [[User:Medicdude|Medicdude]] 01:27, 15 April 2012 (CEST)

==Welcome New Wiki Users==
Please add a big welcome to new users on the front page. Maybe replace the FAQ statement with a big welcome message to new users, and link to the FAQ page. [[User:Medicdude|Medicdude]] 01:27, 15 April 2012 (CEST)

==24 Hour page edit time==
Maybe make it so new users can't edit pages until 24 hours after their account is created... alternatively, make it so new users can't edit their own talk page til 24 hours after their account is created seeing as that seems to be the current most common method of spam.

== IReactorComponent category for wiki ==

Since API and code allow unlimited amount of components i suggest single page for mechanics explanation - IReactorComponent with every possible effect listed (heat sink, heat emitter, heat transport, upgrade and soo on)

And page for every buildin component type currently ingame:

Condensator

Heatpack

HeatStorage

HeatSwitch

Plating

Reflector

Vent

Rod

Isotope

With name registration(redirection) to allow better searching for variations of components.

All *old* pages no longer usefull and shoud be renamed into someting like "%s before 106".

thx in advance.

== Addons section usage ==
# What is the right way to use crafting grid for addon's recipes?
#* Should we specify Mod parameter and use MOutut/MA1/MB1 etc?
#* Where can i upload images of my items/blocks? Have i enough permissions for uploading?
#* How to name addon's images?
# Can you add styles for optional hiding of TOC deep levels? As far as addon has one page, TOC with all levels will be too long.

== Unable to import js ==

Hi there,
I am trying to clean up some of the Wiki, and such would like to import some javascript to [[User:Mdann52/common.js]]. FYI, I am [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mdann52 Mdann52 on Wikipedia], so should have some idea about what I am doing :) [[User:Mdann52|Mdann52]] 21:07, 6 November 2013 (CET)
:I was also wondering if it was worth moving everything on Nuclear Reactors pre-1.3.1 to a subpage, to declutter the page somewhat... and how can I disable these annoying CAPTCHAs :P--[[User:Mdann52|'''Mdann''']][[Special:Contributions/Mdann52|'''52''']][[User talk:Mdann52|''talk to me!'']] 21:35, 6 November 2013 (CET)
