The console command stops the polonium from melting. You can use the sign element to select it, then copy and enter it into the console. The turbine require heat and pressure to work. Click water coolant to fill up water and click neutron beam to start

    @Darkpatrick I'd say this does operate based on neutron flux, the control rods really do absorb neutrons, thus controlling the reaction rate. It takes time for the reaction to build, and the heat follows. You have to be carefull not to have a runaway reaction, it melts before you can get the control rods in(worst case).

    I am currently working on a scram button, but an autoscram feature is a really good idea.

    Someday somebody will build a true reactor pile that controles fission by controlling neutron flux.

    Lower the min temp for the temp warning light and make a setting to lower the rods automaticaly if the warning goes off.

    Good job, a scram button would be nice though

    Disaster3432 There is no meltdown button. I don't think it needs one.

    You really tried. You're doing fine!

    v325 When you fully retract the rods, the reactor becomes a perfect neutron reflector, and this will cause an energy boost. This must be timed correctly, since if the reactor already increase in temperature, it might become too hot. You could try to replace the INSL pixels on the top of the ceramic part of the rods with with TTAN, so that the reactor still absorb some neutrons when the rods are fully retracted. It's impossible to spend all the fuel, there is always some green polonium at the top
