I see your points. Even though URAN wouldn't explode with neutrons but with PLSM or extremely hot FIRE, both are explosions, and both destroy things under pressure. I was also about to suggest that it did explode if in contact with excessive neutrons like IRL, but then, that's DEUT.
On the other hand, what if URAN generated HEAT if in contact with neutrons or pressure, would that interfere with anything. I don't see a flaw in this idea and besides, even though TPT isn't supposed to be realistic, you will be able to build realistic nuclear reactors without using PLUT every single time (it would be more like IRL if TPT had boron) and realistic nukes. I saw a save that said 'Little boy'. I knew how the Little boy nuke worked and I realised that if I did go and see exactly what this was, it woudn't have a spec of URAN in it, so it wouldn't be called Little boy, but Fat man which is in the shape of Little boy.
I think it is good
Everybody wants solid uran and plut to make nuclear weapons, solid uran and plut could be a new element that when broken would turns into uranium and plut, so the saves continues working :D and a more reactive plutonium, and more high explosives, separated elements like vibr and bvbr
Well how would it be that when NEUT hits URAN it does something significant? Yes, when there are a lot of neutrons around they will rise the pressure and heat of the uranium slightly but I think PLUT and NEUT or DEUT with NEUT would be better. But yes, I will look for saves like that. I didn't mean nobody uses URAN in nuclear reactors, I said they don't use NEUT if they do.
My question is this, why are we shooting for realism in TPT. It's not the Realistic Powder Toy. :/
