Project Helios Testbed Fission Reactor

Project Helios is the development of a new model of a compact, easy to set up and easy to move fission reactor, designed for helping power remote areas and any private companies/individuals who are willing to buy one. The reactor was also meant to be extremely safe, with an emergency automated SCRAM system in case the reactor was ever to be mishandled or become unstable for any other reason. Project Helios was started in 198#, testing on the reactor continuing until August 18th, 1985, when the Madison Research Center was destroyed, halting the ability to continue research the technology any further.

How To Operate The Foxtrot-9 Fission Reactor

There are multiple methods of Synchronizing the Fox-9 Reactor from exceedingly complicated to stupidly simple, us Editors will provide our Methods but you can feel free to experiment and find your own way.

LetsLaughitout's Method:

1. Continuous Control Rod Transit off

2. Control Rod Speed 2x

3. Connect all Four Converter Pistons

4. Make Sure all Four Relief Valves are Off

5. Select Global Rod Control

6. Raise the Rods to ~35% if you Need to go Higher or Lower Then do so

7. Go Over to the Syncroscope and Open and Close the Relief Valves to Get the Converters to ~10000Mw Each

8. Watch the "Same Speed" Light Indicator Above the Syncroscope and Once it Turns on Attempt to Sync

9. if it fails then look at the screen next to the rod control and look at the bottom if there is no number that is not 39000 to 41000 then if its below 39000 raise the rods on Control Rod speed 1x if above 41000 open relief valves until its as close as you can get it to 40000
