Drennen Nuclear Power Plant

The Tirnreich has recently purchased two nuclear reactors from the Ukraine. The Ministry of Construction has already undergone extensive construction and renovation of a Cold War-era power plant that was never used, nestled in the woods of Western Tirnreich. The following maps show the layout of the area and the power plant.

Any risk if an earthquake?

Well, the Tirnreich feels minor tremors from quakes in the Mediterranean, but nothing near Japan. Also, no risk of tsunamis.

Still, engineers are taking no chances with this plant, all structures are intended to be able to survive a quake of epic proportions.

Can't wait to see ingame pics!
also I though it would be better to use natural gas from Karasem...

Well, the Tirnreich is trying to move on from fossil fuels, as the growing urban areas are at risk for smog and CO2 contamination.

The Utilities Ministry is looking to build more nuclear plants, as soon as more become available. However, in the meantime the Tirnreich will consider Karasem energy solutions.

First, we'll look at one of the most important parts of the nuclear plant: the water. Water is drawn to the plant by several pumps, which pump in water flowing from the Drennen Fluss tributary, or from a natural spring; this spring-water also powers a hydro-electric dam.

Here, you'll see the Drennen Dam...



Next, you'll see the pumps that pump water into the Drennen Nuclear Pipeline.



Now, observe as the water used for as coolant travels to the storage tanks and redirect pumps...




These pumps and pipes are vital to the operation and safety of the nuclear power plant. The pumps are regularly checked by engineers and plant operators to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Whenever a group goes of the grounds to check on pumps, they must pass through the Drennen Plant Gate-West, which monitors all traffic from the western maintenance road. (it's a dead end road, so no traffic really comes in)

The West Drennen Plant Gate...



Now, in order to actually have the plant, the Tirnreich must construct it! Construction crews are utilizing recently added rail lines to transfer and receive building materials from trains. This is how most if not all material will get to the plant. There is a security checkpoint 8 km to the south, which all trains must stop at.

Drennen Plant Freight Station...



So far, nothing else is built in the area. However, there seems to be an ancient stone formation hidden in the woods...

Love it!

oww... great complex!!

This is why I've missed you Geoff. Your updates are brilliant and I hope to see more soon.

Nice to see you back!

Spectacular!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! So the plant is actually under-construction?

Yes, I've just downloaded some parts. I'm intending it to be modular, but I'm having a hard time finding detached cooling towers that are large enough to look good

Amazing!

Did you try SFBT Cooling towers on the LEX?

Yes! I actually just DL'd them

You could lot the entire thing if you want. That's alot of work, but it does pay at the end.

Very nice, welcome back

Awesome! I cant wait to see the final product.

This update, the cooling towers have already been completed, with diagnostic tests being run in the form of pressurized water being turned into steam by electric heaters, and subsequently pumped through the cooling system. All this to make sure that when the reactors are hooked up, the cooling system will run as planned.



Now I need a little help from the audience here. Would you think this is a good (looking) building to house a reactor? I think it looks quite industrial, with lots of pipes everywhere, and is oddly colorful, providing a uniqueness to the plant.



As a parting shot, here's a look at a majority of the tile. It's entirely dedicated to the Drennen Nuclear Power Plant, however the land is called Drennenfeld, or "Drennen Field," as it lies a bit south west of the actual town of Drennen. It's cool to compare it to my original map, as I've tried hard to keep it as close as I can.

Looks AWESOME!!!!!!!!

It looks perfect, don't change a thing.

Thanks guys! I'm planning on working on the plant this weekend, so keep an eye out for more updates.

Haha, it's amazing! BTW, why 2 Centres Pompidou? Don't you think it's already too ugly?

Pretty nice man!
