More or less realistic in the tpt way. Pressure is analogous to neutron flux. CR control rods, P/SL prim./sec. loop, HE1/2 heat exchangers, WS water supply, TV turbine valve, CT cooling towers. Pull rods until desired boom or operate at about 450C.

    A wise man once said that you could never have too many uranium rods.

    the cooling system is a little bit underpowered for this reactor

    I think there should be more room in save descriptions. I really wanted to fit in some tips about how not to melt the planet. To get it running fast I turn everything on, pull the control rods to around 25% and as the temp starts rising above 300C I quickly lower the rods and adjust until it's stable at whatever temp I'm going for. At 500C-550C it's usually stable at around 80%.

    the scram button just won't work

    this thing will meltdown beyond 1200 even with control rods fully inserted that is an unsafe reactor

    very nice work you beat even my last reactor , nice one , there is one problem: the reactor is extreme unstable at high temperatures even with scram enabled 30 seconds ago making like CHERNOBYL

    lmao they were heating when down

    what rods are you talking about? you can't raise the fuel rods, but to heat up the reactor you raise the control rods, to lower the heat you lower them

    Rods are warmer when down or up?
