    it is as Sourec says. @Sourec. If you have an ID you have modified you may share it and I could maybe incorporate some of your mods with credit of course.

    @theclownbrothers I DO know how to operate it without melting it down, thank you very much. That's not the point, though - I was just pointing out that the reactor is extremely vulnreble (sp?) to high temperatures.

    @theclownbrothers. Thank you. When a user with leaves an "I have ever seen" comment on my save I make a point of checking out there saves and look for the oldest one. You have been here for at least 5 years (WOW), which makes your comment all the more meaningful. that said, I just built it the way that it made sense to me. By "load following" do you mean the reactor being downstream from the boiler and upstream from coolant reservoir?

    @sourec, learn how to operate it and you won't get a reactor wall breach, Btw sandwichlizard this is probably the first reactor i've seen on TPT that is actually load following. Amazing job mate.

    It melts down a bit too easy... ideally it should be able to withstand 2,000 C temperatures, but it melts down before getting past about 1300. However, it can be fixed by changing the GLOW tank to TUNG, as well as key pipe entrance/exits, joints, and the heat exchanger to TUNG. You might need some PUMP around the heat exchanger though, otherwise the TUNG breaks.

    yes. but they do not lose life while they are passing thru other material. only in empty space.

    they goes away when the life runs out :p atleast for me

    LOL. They dont just go away. In the reaction chamber, the DEUT chambers are lined with VOID(PROT). So it only sucks up protons. this was needed to control the sheer volume of protons created by the DEUT-PROT reaction. It basically slows the reaction. you could consider the void as control rods.

    the... protons just ... go away D: i made a small prototype of a proton reactor before this is made and that one makes protons and have no problem :p but still its kinda unstable sometimes
