Even if it's just a short one of about a season so players don't have to pick up and leave their whole base every time some raider gets into the wrong room.
It's a little harsh, but hey- so's the rim.
Another reason why u have to take care of your lil nuclear boi :v
It released less than ten percent of what Chernobyl did.
It wasn't even "haha commies", it was a reactor that was already outdated even by the standards at the time, being run with the safeties off to do a test by people who were under-educated in their field, and most critically, they tried to cover it up instead of immediately responding and containing it after it blew. And blow it did, in quite literally THE worst possible way a reactor that old could.
No nuclear incident in the world since has even come REMOTELY close to that level of "every single possible thing going wrong in the worst possible way", in no small part due to the fact that reactors became less and less able to even potentially melt down like that as the technology advanced.
Task failed successfully?
Thus it is obvious the reactor is of a shittier design and operated even worse than Chernobyl.
You can thank the unholy union of the fossil fuel industry and Greenpeace for this.
That being said, this is RimWorld and the nuclear reactor from VE:P is already comically unsafe, so why not explode?
An atom bomb works by taking a subcritical mass of a fissile material and using an extremely precise array of explosives to compress it into a supercritical mass. Reactors don't do this. They use fissile material to heat water into steam which powers a normal-ass steam turbine. A reactor will never go supercritical. If a runaway reaction occurs, the nuclear fuel will get hot enough to boil the metal casing of a reactor, and...what has a lower boiling point than most metals? That's right - water. (explosion)"

to put it really simply - Reactors don't go BIG BOOM. Atom Bombs go BIG BOOM cause reaction. Reactors go ˢᵐᵒˡ ᵇᵒᵒᵐ cause hot.
