     Well, then it'd heat up, release neutrons and fire, when ignited, while being slowly consumed. Just awesome :P

    The fire could be used to heat other stuff and the neutrons could be used to irradiate some other materials. Somehow making a cool factory or something. It would be cool.

    The only issue thatIi can see is that the neutrons wouuld be "swallowed" by the smoke/flames.

    (where the neutrons are surrounded or blocked and die)

    Quick question, Did you think of this while playing one of the Fallout games?

    hmmm... well fire seems to "reflect" neutrons currently, but smoke does not. The only way around this would be to make IRAS have a reasonably high burning tempurature, so the fire given off does not transform into smoke and absorb the neutrons.

    Yeah :D

    Exactly how I thought of it, but rather, I was wondering if they could just make an update to allow neutrons to pass through fire and smoke. It won't really break any saves because there really aren't any with smoke/fire and neutrons involved.

    yeah, good point. I expect that would be the best way around it. And there wil definately be no save issues as you said.

    Yeah they will have to add that, to allow neutrons to pass through fire, smoke and maybe even other gases?

    ahh, it seems that all gasses are opaque to neutrons. Either they absorb them or reflect them. So it would be nice if some were transparent to them.

     

    perhaps the lighter gasses like HYGN an OXYG? since it makes sense because in real life their nuclie is small and has a lower chance of being hit by a neutron projectile.

     

    An annoying thing I noticed was that when a gas "absorbes" a NEUT, it doesn't transfer the heat energy.
