About this build
The smallest useful nuclear plant: one reactor with its heat exchangers and turbines. A single reactor gets no neighbour bonus, so treat it as a first step that the 160 MW pair replaces. It has 1 nuclear reactor, 4 heat exchangers and 8 steam turbines.
Maxiume built it for his nuclear power tutorial, which walks through placing it and fuelling it. The numbers behind reactor layouts are in the nuclear reactor ratio guide.

Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 32 × 41 tiles.
- It works in the base game without Space Age.
- It includes roboports, so it can extend your logistic network and let robots build the rest.
- It uses circuit logic. Do not remove wires or combinators when you adapt it.
