NR-53R GhostBullet & NR-53S SpiritAngel

Description:

In light of tsunamis, hurricanes, and massive earthquakes, disaster relief has seen - among others - one massive problem: electricity. So many of these storms bring down electrical power to the area, often severing power lines with no hope of relief for days. While many shelters may have emergency generators, fuel for these can run out in short time and takes a supply line to assist a city's worth.

The NR-53R Ghostbullet coupled with the NR-53S Spiritangel, which houses the steam-plant and electricity-generation side, provide on-demand electrical power to any place with so much as a large open field for landing or a large enough stretch of open road. With their own desalinization plants, they can run for months so long as they have access to water.

In the event that they cannot be parked next to a lake, river, or other large water-source, both the Spiritangel and Ghostbullet can roll out massive water-bladders to be filled with any available water as a secondary heat-sink for both normal operations and emergency decay-heat removal.

To prevent meltdown, the NR-53R can supply sufficient decay-heat removal to itself with nothing more than natural circulation within a period of time short enough to cool down prior to fuel melting. As a backup, two batteries mounted along the lower-sides of the aircraft can be powered by the wing-mounted solar panels to help power the reactor's coolant pumps.

The NR-53R uses a two-loop Pressurized Water Reactor to produce heat which is carried by the coolant - distilled water - to steam generators. The steam produced is transported to the turbine in the NR-53S, afterwards it is condensed and the water is transported back to repeat the cycle.

Setting up the arrangement takes several hours prior to electricity generation and usually requires a support-team to prepare the two, though the watchteam can set everything up themselves. Additional crew will be required to relieve them, as all watchstanders must be allowed sleep and time off.
