    Neutrons (alpha radiation) is what causes fission. It can be stopped with just paper. Control rods just must be made of something that can withstand high levels of heat also deutrium oxide is not radioactive its heavy water most of nuclear reactors use it as coolant if you want to see simulations of this in action visit: https://phet.colorado.edu/

    i would love to see people make it more realistic by adding urainium for the rods or electroids cuz thats realistic and add sources of water and a cooling/heating well and the rods stick in to heat it up electroids add pressure so .... +1

    This is an amazing save. Love the way you implemented graphs, Rod Controllers, and even how you created the Reactor. Wonderful save.

    An easy way to fix your control rod problem is to make sure it is always airtight and the rods are void with ctype neut, have like a DEUT reaction and the more control rods you lower the more NEUT you suck up, controlling the reaction and reducing heat

    Wow, really, so this is kind of not how real NPP works. Well Im gonna change the signs to tell that rods do the opposite in real life. Thanks :)

    Control Rods are supposed to control the reaction to prevent the reactor from getting too hot, usually made out of graphite or something that sucks the radiation that causes the chain reaction. SCRAM in the old days was someone with an axe that cut the wire to the control rods, dropping them all, completely stopping the reaction

    @NoVicE thats not how control rods work, they work opposite to this
