About this build
A 2×8 double row of reactors for megabase power: the middle reactors have three neighbours each, so the plant makes 2.4 GW. It has 16 nuclear reactors, 252 heat exchangers and 432 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.
Changes on this site: the author's editor-only test entities (infinity chests and pipes, energy interfaces, loaders) were removed, so connect real inputs and power where they were.

Before you place it
- Clear a space of at least 192 × 124 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.
- Editor-only test inputs were removed: connect real inputs where the author had test sources.
