Nucleares

As you see from the dissertation presented elsewhere in the reviews: this is not a 100% accurate simulation of a nuclear power plant. However, it is fun, challenging, and provides a sense of how delicate the balance is to properly operate a complex system. I have over a decade of experience with power plant operations and engineering and I'm enjoying every minute of this game, despite the inaccuracies to IRL reactor operations.
I have 25 hours across ~2 weeks. In those two weeks there have been major feature additions. The discord is active and the future seems bright.

As a fun of hardcore simulation games and reaching 31 level and 41,6h in this game, I can say. YES!
You have to:
+ read 200-page manual to understand how such plants are built.
+ plan and supervise to avoid problems in the future.
+ think a lot :)
+ understand hundreds of buttons, gauges and displays :D
+ keep the plant as long as you can under pressure to continuously produce energy, try to make any maintenance services without turning down the plant
+ boil the water in 325C to produce energy :D
You can:
+ F. up the plant, any utilities, reactor, lose your job and make environmental pollution
+ try it without knowledge and f up the world :D
What could be better?
- Graphic
- Music and ambient sounds keep the situation atmosphere nice, but sound effects could be better
- When building new utilities, like, for example, a condenser, player could be responsible for connecting pipes and cables and pipeline management. Then you would have to think a lot how to build it and connect it in the proper way to not f up the world :D
Bugs?
There a some like press and hold button to rise rpm/voltage does not work, you must click 300 times :/

I actually quite enjoy this game. it obviously needs more work, but as it is I am enjoying it. Now I have never run a nuclear power plant but I do run a combined cycle plant ( gas turbine and steam turbine). The heat generation and transfer to a steam generator is exactly as I would imagine. Increase temp, heat water, push heated water to steam generator and boil the water. I have seen some "nuclear power plant operators" posting reviews on here that seem to be struggling with the steam generator. It works exactly as a drum should. You cannot continuously feed the drum with out something leaving it. Leave your feed pumps off or zero demand until the heat starts to generate steam. The steam pressure will rise and that will push the water level down, when that occurs start feeding in feed water until the water level stops dropping and returns to a normal level. exactly as it works in real life, well on the feed tank side of things. Have your turbine bypass valves open until you achieve stable steam generation the slowly push the steam into the turbine. The temp pressure and torque gauges are merely an indication on when you have sufficient steam flow to the turbine. Have the turbine come up slowly and keep the kw under the red line on the graph before you close the breaker. If it is above the red line damage will occur, this is one of the nit picking issues I have with the game. The kw should be zero as you are closing the breaker, then you add load by increasing the steam flow. Also the steam turbine should need to be pre-warmed and heat soaked before sending it to max speed. Sending cold turbines to max speed is what scatters parts everywhere. Another issue I have is the city demanding more power than I have capacity for. It should not be demanding that amount of power with out me advertising to them that I can achieve it (installing more transformers, turbines and upgrades), not by level. As well as the money paid, that should be by KWH and should increase and decrease based off of demand, not level of operator. This few are just suggestions if this wants to be a true simulator. But as a game I enjoy it.

My first 70 minutes. I spent the first hour reading the ingame wiki, managing my daughters, and getting familiar with the consoles.
Then I turned everything on and checked that the valves and pumps were working.
Everything seemed to be fine, so I inserted the rods into the reactor.
Hell broke loose.
Now I know what a certain knob does.
10/10, I would destroy all the region again.

Very promising, and hopefully will get better with time.
Pros:
- Easily accessible nuclear simulator
- Basic tutorial provides a good introduction, although falls short on some counts
- Looks decent
- Some fun scenarios
- Approachable both for engineering types and just those curious.
Cons:
- Once the reactor is started, there's not a lot to do
- Movement animations are awkward and a bit jarring (camera snapping around a bit, or annoying head bob)
- 3D assets for plant components lack realism, overly cartoonish
- Graphics aren't the most optimised
- Animations need some polish
- Although the simulation itself seems to be pretty realistic, the 3D environment isn't so much, and seems to be aiming more for being easily approached than realism. The plant itself only vaguely resembles an actual plant, but that may be intentional. Nonetheless, it'd be nice in future to see a realistic plant design with maintenance rooms, more sensible pipe layout and whatnot, but that might be out of the purview of this game.
Suggestions for the Developer:
- Improve movement animations
- Work on making machinery a bit more realistic
- Allow pinning current task list somewhere
- Flesh out exterior with some extra details
- Flavour objects, make the plant feel a bit less sterile
- Details, like exhaust piping for gensets, although this might not fit with the distinctly video-gamey feel of the current games design.
Things that'd be fun to see:
- Multiple reactor layouts
- Some sort of story
- Other types of reactor

This is a fun, quirky little game that allows you to run a nuclear reactor. Now, to be honest i'm actually surprised there aren't more games like this out there.
I wish there were.
9.5/10
