    MadScientist14: You can place TTAN around the uranium to isolate the pressure from the reactor and prevent a meltdown.

    nobodyagain: Its possible to combine your two ideas and try to design an alloy wall that partially lets the pressure pass and isolates the heat generating elements.

    I like when there like 9999 buttons and 999 indicators (+1)

    ok, i guess that could be for the future. but i have two ways to deal with the pressure: #1 completely seal off the uran from it or #2 a kind of alloy wall that only blocks the pressure partly. (i will try this stuff myself)

    nobodyagain: If you mean increasing the operating pressure in the reactor and replacing the coolant with water, then that's a pretty good idea, but as the pressure inside the reactor increases, the temperature of the uranium will rise rapidly, and the water will boil at some point anyway, causing an even greater depressurization, causing the core to melt. Moreover, for such modernization, the reactor needs to be reworked, and this is already too late, because the power unit is 80% ready.

    do you think that a pressurizer could be added? water can stay liquid at 500C under 200 pressure. (just for realism, possibly)

    A similar scheme will also be used to monitor the pressure inside the core.

    1tron This reactor was designed for compactness and safe use. It is quite powerful for its size and even produces a bit more heat for boiling water. Of course, I will use the usual scheme of displaying the temperature of the reactor, heat exchanger and separator, but it is necessary to allocate three operating temperature ranges for the reactor to avoid melting of the core.
