Core inlet high temperature

[cobreen]

I don't know how to lower it. there is no warning about it. It just sits on yellow zone

Right click on it, what is the exact temp?

This happens when your "feed water circuit" is low on water. add "feed water circuit" until "core vessel gauge" water level is 120000 full. This feed water circuit uses water slowly over time.

Interesting. I thought this was a misspelling and it was actually core OUTLET temperature, since it is always equal to core temerature?

according to Oficial user manual [drive.google.com] (page 66)
The gauge im asking about is indeed called a Core Inlet Temperature.

 Core Inlet Temperature: Serves as a critical instrument for
assessing the temperature of coolant entering the reactor core.
This meter provides real-time data on the temperature of the
coolant as it enters the core vessel.
As the reactor operates, nuclear reactions generate heat within the
core. The coolant absorbs this heat and circulates through the
primary circuit. The Core Inlet Temperature meter precisely
measures the temperature of this incoming coolant, offering
crucial insights into the thermal conditions at the core's entrance.
Operators use this information to monitor and control the
reactor's temperature, ensuring it remains within safe and efficient

operating limits. Deviations from expected temperatures could
signify anomalies or require adjustments in the reactor's
operational parameters. 

So basically the primary loop did not gave all of it's energy away before the coolant returned to the reactor.

I guess I could lower the core temperature or increase secondary loop speed.
Any other ideas?

right click on the CORE VESSEL gauge if it is below 120000 this is your problem, click the button that says "feed water circuit" and let it run until the CORE VESSEL gauge is full 120000 then turn off "feed water circuit" switch and then you will see the CORE INLET gauge drop back into the green.
