New Element Idea: U235
-
I have concocted a new element idea for TPT. I felt that since TPT has 3 elements for FUSION but only 2 elements for FISSION, I needed to even the scales a bit. So, I have come up with Enriched Uranium-235(U235).
[u][b]SUGGESTION DETAILS:[/b][/u]U235 (enriched uranium-235): It is a very dark green, powdery, and radioactive element that can kill STKM(and stickman 2) and is found in the RADIOACTIVE tab. It has a melting point of 7,000 degrees, at which point the U235 will become LAVA(molten U235). U235 can fission even in its molten state. Unlike PLUT, U235 is not made more volatile by heat(as in 5000-degree U235 is no more likely to fission than 1000-degree U235). It is different from URAN because it DOES NOT produce heat when pressurized. It is a fully different element. U235 will produce a fission reaction under [b]any[/b] of these 3 circumstances: 1: U235 is hit by NEUT (much like the way PLUT fissions when it is hit by NEUT). 2: It is concentrated in extremely large quantities of more than 5000 pixels touching each other directly(if it is even possible to code that), in which case THE ENTIRE MASS will spontaneously fission. 3: It is pressurized to 200 psi. When U235 undergoes fission, the resulting reaction should be only half as powerful as PLUT(half the pressure, half the temp). When 1 pixel of U235 undergoes fission, 3 NEUT and either 1 STNE or 1 URAN ( 70% chance STNE, 20% chance URAN, 10% chance nothing [only the 3 NEUT are produced]) are produced. URAN can be converted to U235 by passing URAN through GLOW (the GLOW must be heated to 5000 for it to convert URAN to U235). On average, one pixel of URAN will yield 1/3 pixels U235 (3 pixels URAN = 1 pixel U235, or on average, every third pixel of URAN will become U235) when passed through the 5000 degree GLOW. 1 PHOT (colored light blue to symbolize radiation. NOTE: THIS PHOT IS OPTIONAL AND HAS NO OTHER PURPOSE!) will be released when a pixel of URAN successfully converts to U235. U235 will decay very slowly(1.5 minutes for one pixel to decay, on average) , releasing 1 NEUT and becoming URAN when it decays.
[b]THE END[/b]U235 is not just another PLUT wannabe. Its properties theoretically would make it very useful for reactors, liquid metal reactors, and even liquid metal fast-breeder reactors. It would also provide a way to make fission bombs that, while having weaker pressure/temperature effects, would provide a very rapid, jolting explosion, unlike PLUT, which is more powerful but can sometimes waste potential explosive power JUST GETTING to the crucial level where the fission reaction becomes supercritical and the bomb explodes. Anyway, this is my suggestion and I would appreciate some feedback. -

@Minishooz: Good point. I am gonna think some up. It could, for example, be used as a fission bomb accelerant, making more powerful bombs possible. Otherwise, I would need to think about it's uses.

Why a mass fission ratio? Some reactors rely on compactness, so a 5000 particle limit/Max would really ruin small reacotrz. We don't want large reactors lagging up and ruining ingenuity, do we??? Ingenuity being measured in size reduction, in this case. You have all these stats for a useless material, how about thinking of a needed material and making it seem possible through your intelligence and useful stats that way? I meant that as a compliment, use your intelligence for a better use, such as a metal that is corrosive resistant, conducts electricity, minor pressure conduction, doesn't crumble, can withstand plasma and termite better than most materials, a super metal for high stress scenarios???

interesting. Could make more complex reactors (as in refining). The way I see things is that one day, the radioactives section will be full and this is likely to contribute to that. -
@Colt: I did not mean that there could only be 5000 particles max, I meant that U235 will fission if 5000 particles are in one contiguous mass, although I don't know if that is even possible without producing lag.... U235 can be made to fission without having 5000 particles grouped together, I just made it so that U235 will fission when:
#1: it is hit by NEUT; AND/OR #2: It is pressurised to 200 psi; AND/OR #3: it is grouped in large quantities(5000+ particles). Any ONE of those three scenarios will result in fission.
I may edit the suggestion later. And as for your metal, I will think about that in the future because what you described sounds pretty useful. -
