you can create a layer of shield around TTAN or any conductor... this looks like a "plating"
although I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say... we have many elements that can resist heat... but TTAN's melting point is fixed as far as I know

I almost built a fully destructible fusion reactor

Candunc

We have Diamond, but it doesn't do much other than conduct heat.

be more clear then -____-
In real life, not much can survive >3000c. If you want elements to have higher melting points, you can easily use Lua.

What kind of materials are used in the construction of real nuclear powerplants? They seem to be able to handle the heat, although I'm not sure if any of them come in to direct contact with the fissile material.

Well, in real life also nothing survives fusion. Hydrogen fusion requires heat of millions degrees Celsius.

Yet none of the non-indestructable materials in this game can survive fission.

Fission isn't 'survived' either, nuclear meltdowns are just that - meltdowns. Nuclear reactors are highly controlled and usually aren't hot at all.

Plating.
