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

  It will initiate when overheat light avtivates at 1320c.

  Update: Press CORE to ready the autoscram. You can of course switch it off too. It will deactivate itself once scram has been initiated.

  Which leads to the new autoscram, it works great *if the control rods are in at least partially. But you'd be a maniac to run a reactor with the control rods all the way out, so :p

  @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.
