in nuclear power plants, the uranium used is less enriched (less atoms that can do the splitty and those atoms are farther apart) so they can still split and make heat, but can’t sustain the massive chain reaction that makes a nuclear explosion
but i don’t think sandboxels distinguishes U-235 and U-238 (the explodey isotope and the non-explodey one) and instead just has one uranium
so you’ll need to be careful with how neutrons are added

You already did I think..

They collide two bricks of uranium to make prompt criticality

Wait that's actually really nice

Did you delete neutronium.js when you downloaded it?
fascinating-indigo•12mo ago
Yes did it
conventional-tan•12mo ago
It's not really needed
Ok
fascinating-indigo•12mo ago
Btw what is the original purpose of the mod
conventional-tan•12mo ago
Adding more elements
I used it for some things
But only problem is they change neutrons to not bond with the silver to make a control rods reaction

I should get better at realism for nuclear reactors
conventional-tan•12mo ago
The game too
The realism for nuclear reactions in sandboxels isn't that good

chem.js helps

Not really..
I wish they added pressure
