Atomic Science - Realistic Nuclear Physics in Minecraft
Atomic Science is a technology mod entirely dedicated to nuclear physics. You'll encounter a unique system of reactors, processing plants, and useful machinery. The main goal of this mod is to maintain realistic processes without sacrificing gameplay enjoyment.
Exciting Features:
- Comprehensive radiation impact system on the environment
- Well-developed thermal and environmental effects
- Interactive radioactive material map in the world
- Steam collectors and turbine blocks for energy generation
- Blocks for constructing fission and fusion reactors (fusion in development)
- Machines for nuclear fuel processing
- Advanced radioactive waste disposal system
- Fuel rods and related items
- Protective radiation gear
Advanced Radiation System
Atomic Science is built around a complex radiation system that replicates real-world physical principles. This adds unique dynamics and numerous strategic opportunities to the gameplay.
The system monitors all radiation sources in the world and creates a special radiation map for each block. Radiation levels decrease with distance and can be blocked by barriers, allowing players to construct protective structures and use the environment to counter hazardous emissions.
Radioactive Materials
Any radioactive material can be found anywhere - in blocks, items, and even on creatures. It all depends on environmental conditions and interactions with various objects.
Universal Reactors
Unlike other mods, Atomic Science offers complete freedom in reactor design. Each block serves a specific function, enabling full personalization of the structure. There are no pre-built multi-block templates - reactors consist of individual modules that can be arranged in any configuration. Each system interacts with neighboring ones, creating a complete, functional complex.
Innovative Heat Technology
Reactors don't directly affect their surroundings - heat dissipates through a specialized thermal system. This significantly simplifies programming and mechanism functionality.
Heat redistribution helps reduce CPU load and prevent lag. Meanwhile, the system generates realistic effects - block melting, steam formation, and other visual phenomena.
Efficient Steam Energy
Any heat source can produce steam by heating water to a specified temperature. Collected steam can power compatible equipment, including from other popular mods: Railcraft, Thermal Expansion, IC2, and GregTech. Built-in turbines provide direct conversion of steam to energy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the radiation system be used for post-apocalyptic worlds?
Yes, but potential performance issues and save file sizes should be considered.
Does the radiation map consume significant memory?
Typically minimal - increasing RAM usage by approximately 100MB while slightly expanding save file sizes.
How does this continuation relate to the original version by Calclavia?
This is a direct development of the mod with expanded functionality and new content.
Are there development rights?
The BBM team obtained official rights to continue all Calclavia projects since they participated in developing previous versions.
Will there be updates for newer game versions?
Possibly, depending on developer team availability and time constraints.
