Maintenance and Repairs

Overview:

To assess the overall condition of the plant, respond to maintenance prompts from the Operational Assistant (OA), or address indications of damaged components in the control room, follow these procedures:

1) Request a Preventive Maintenance Report:

Direct OA to generate a preventive maintenance report. OA will navigate through the plant, conducting a thorough analysis of the current situation.

2) Review Maintenance Tasks:

Once OA completes the report, check the "Maintenance Tasks" section for a detailed list of elements requiring repairs.

Plant Shutdowns for Maintenance:

Certain components may necessitate a plant shutdown for repair. The maintenance task app will provide information on time, cost, and the need for a prior shutdown.

Scheduled Maintenance Shutdowns:

The OA's report indicates the wear percentage of plant components. It is advisable to perform maintenance tasks on these components before the wear percentage reaches 100%.

What happens at 100% Wear or Beyond?

While not mandatory, exceeding 100% wear increases the risk of damage or failure. It is strongly recommended to perform the maintenance in such cases.

Smoke or Fire from a Component:

If a component starts emitting smoke or catches fire, irreversible damage may have occurred. Depending on the component and location, automatic fire sprinklers will activate. Request a maintenance report from the OA. If repairable, it will appear in the maintenance task list. If irreparable, discard the component using the machinery app.

Insufficient Prestige Points for Repairs:

If lacking sufficient prestige points for repairs, consider requesting a loan from the city bank. Access the banking app via the maintenance app to apply for a loan. Alternatively, sell machines and components; the selling price will be adjusted based on the overall condition of the component. Prizes obtained from successful audits can also be sold.

Manual repairs by the plant operator

If you want to repair something manually, keep the following in mind:

- You can repair non-energized cables with the clamp. If energized, the clamp must have resistors. If the cable is inaccessible, you won't be able to repair it (ask AO to do it).

- If a resistance block in the resistance bank burns out, you can change it as long as the bank is offline.

- You can repair tubes and containers (evaporators, pressurizer, condenser, etc.) with the welder. If the damage is unreachable, you won't be able to repair it (ask AO to do it).

- If the motor that moves the control rods is damaged and it is an emergency, you can get on the crane and operate it manually to move the rods.

- The crane cannot be used manually to move fuel blocks.
