not really how RBMK was built tho
You can make the rods out of ttan too, +1
The water distribution is uneven, try setting them all to the same channel.
Very realistic rbmk. It exploded. Lives up to its name "Really Badly Made Kettle". (turns out that when you give operators an oppressive work enviornment, little training, and direct orders to do what they know is wrong, RBMKs can, in fact, explode)
Also, GOLD absorbs ~5% of NEUT that passes through each particle of it. (assume 3% due to NEUT speed)
Nice usage of control rods though! :)
Also, what element is the one needed in the console? Neutrons?
They work just as efficently and don't overheat.
You can make control rods of MERC for 100% non "cheat" element reactors.
