It's breakfast time here.

 

[Snapdragon]

I'm going to have a snack and then go to bed. Maybe some celery and peanut butter.

 

[Sylvain]

Well good luck with that.

Nuke plant is self starting, just pull the control rods out far enough. Doesn't need a jumpstart. If they'd just put a thermal fuse on the control rods to drop them if it overheats, no possibility of a meltdown. Why is this so hard?

Even shutdown, it needs cooling, thats why

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

It'll cool. Heck, the same thermal fuse could dump a tank of cold water on the core if the calculations indicate it would be needed. Keep it all contained, shut it down, cool it in place. If it's a hazard, it's the designer's fault, whether due to stupidity or desire for job security.

A reactor will produce heat days after shutdown.

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

There's heat that the system can't deal with, then there's heat it can deal with. If you're crankin out heat the system can't deal with when the control rods have been dropped, you've misdesigned the core. Dropping the control rods should be enough to start the dropoff of heat.
