    But deuterium does not have natural radiation emmesion, thereforse you have to use other matierals to kickstart it

    The only reason why nuclear reactors dont explode/meltdown is because of a moderating matieral like boron, used in control rods

    Supercrafter, in real nuclear reactors reactions are started by natural radiation from the fuel

    How did he not realize that the reactor stalls if you don't feed in fuel because there's no proton injectors

    How'd I miss this? +1 Nice one sandwich :)

    I installed new Modular counter v2. with perfect digit rollover.

    Okay, I changed my modified version (ID:1833804) to be a bit more vulnreble to meltdown. Actually, all I did is up the life in the deuterium duplicators by 10, increasing the max temperature generated. It still can withstand way higher temperatures, but if you really push it the GLOW chamber melts.

    @SandwichLizard There is actually a minor, somewhat-unintended failure zone, but it's not the most consistent. Sometimes the INSL at the bottom of the boiler will catch fire due to something with the TTAN and some melty stuff at the bottom. it's not overly common, but if there's even a single pixel of fire, it will wreck the entire thing. In any case, I'll see if I can figure out some covert failure zones.

    But a New type of reactor called a Molten Salt Reactor comes with promising features to be able to follow load in tandem with renewable alternative power production.

    @Sandwichlizard, By load following i mean your reactor is capable of changing it's reaction rate. AKA is able to throttle heat production, this is a dream that most modern day reactor operators would like to have. Since it allows you to follow demand, where as with current old nuclear reactors you can't throttle electrical output since you constantly need to have the reactor core cooled.
