I’m new to nuclear, is my diagram accurate for a steam reactor?

IMG 2 is missing a few things and simply shows control rods at 100% insertion.

I really just play Roblox games about power plants so that’s where my knowledge comes from. I was just wondering if my understanding of reactors is accurate.
• Feedwater goes to the core and heats up into steam, which powers a turbine, the steam then returns to FW or is released into the atmosphere. (I don’t know which one)
• Coolant goes into the core which (obviously) cools it. It’s then recycled back into coolant go back again.
• Generators keep pumps for coolant and feedwater running, but during maintenance or a malfunction, the facility can switch to their turbine grid, which I labeled auxiliary (but I’m not sure if aux is the correct term for turbine power)
• control rods go into the core with a special material (I believe granite?) to slow the reaction to cool the core. SCRAM puts all rods in at once.

I’d appreciate anyone who reads this all and gives feedback and corrections! Also yes, I know I forgot reactor fuel (uranium 235?), but I don’t know how refueling the core works so I didn’t bother.

Leaves on Moon?

I am soon to launch my first rocket, and was wondering about whether I need to bring logs & dirt on moon in order to make oxygen producing leaves survive there? I watched a couple videos, didn't see them using logs at all, but in Overworld the leaves would generally soon disappear if not part of tree? The quest only says bringing oak logs apart from leaves?

So, I decided to make time to upgrade my steam multis to steel, as I still use them

And to switch from my item pipe sphagetti to enderio ore processing.

Made it. Everything worked fine. Needed slight adjustment, moved one input to different output.

Now any raw ore I put inside to be processed just disappears.

Can't find it with T, it's not in any chests (gold chests are in front of machines as extra buffer), not in any input buses... just silently gone. The rest of the chain works fine -- put in crushed ore, etc, everything is as expected.

Anyone experienced this (btw the setup is 2.8.1, mp server)?

I've had some issues with conduits occasionally stopping input/output until rebuilt, but nothing like just losing stacks of raw ore.

I asked on Discord, but a guy just disbelieved me, told me I should check all places where it could have gone. It's just 7 barrels in about 12x4 block setup...

I do use the priorities, but there are no conflicting levels of priorities so it shouldn't be the case that items are just running around the network without deciding where to go:

UPD. Turns out the GT item type filter was reset (or I had somehow changed it without knowing) from "Raw Ore" to its basic form of "Ore". In which form it was (probably?) accepting, but simply deleting raw ores.

Well, not really, but if you ask me how it works, I will have to think a bit.

Oxygen loop via phosphoric acid electrolysis, in a 3x3x2 space (including power sources). Had some stuff on hand and just decided to use it in place (of previous water electrolysis single machine) for faster oxygen generation.

The annoying thing is that electrolysing phosphoric acid takes 2 types of cell input and outputs 2 types of cells AND dust(!) Had to scratch my head a bit.

Item translocators are fun as they have builtin filters. Item distributor was needed in order to pass cells in proportion, as round-robin of enderio conduit would make all empty cells go to the phosphoric acid tank.

Enderio fluid tank was not needed, could use something else, just what I had laying about.
