    Good idea, but It should be blue and glow(cherenkov radiation effect) and vapourise at a high temperature like 1100K  and produce a lot of pressure when in gaseous state so we can have realistic meltdowns.

     That isn't a very good idea as it:

    a)Defeats the whole purpose of building a power plant if all you need is one fuel rod and some wire.

    b)Will make any core made out of titanium (i.e every one not made from wall) electrified- increasing pressure and decreasing temperature whilst causing other problems like water electrification.

     It will stay lime green and but it will glow.

    howabout it takes high temperature steam and converts it into hygn? then MODE will be deactivated or converted into a more useless element (zirconium alloy, anyone?)

    the only issue I have with this is that this is obviously aimed at reactors relying on fissile material to produce a chain reaction- other than deut, we don't really have a material that stays at a low enough tempurature to not consistently melt TTAN, or is a liquid, sort of ruining the the whole reactor thing. 

    TL;DR

    we need something to make plut less melty and more reactory

    you can alloy PLUT with MORT to reduce the amount of the NEUT.

     Yeah if you delete, mort your perma ban from TPT.

     ISOZ is liquid, but it decays so slowly it wouldn't be effective at building a plant though(unless there's some way to boost that)

     but what colour glow, as reactors glow blue. The green is from radon and other radioactive sources; anyway the plutonuium will already be/glow green.

     It will glow blue.

     Then may I suggest a turquise colour that has tmps related colour fluctuation like lava between blue/green (think EXOT after mixing at 1750 degrees)

     Like a teal color? I'll post, an image to see if that's the color you want.
