    if it looks that hot, fission is pretty active and a lot of particles are coming your way. better put it under water and attach a turbine to the vessel, and a generator to the shaft

      Ahhh water. Blocks alpha particles. Disables magnets. Is there anything this wondrous liquid can’t do?

      this is how 238Pu ceramic pellets for space probe generators look like, no fission required just alpha decay. If it was fission, it wouldn’t need to glow like this entire time because you can just turn it off

        Well, either you can turn it off or you’re about a microsecond away from being vaporized.

      Doesn’t this contaminate the water?

        From what I remember, the water that is near the fissile material is in its own closed loop tank and has heat exchangers that transfer heat to another water loop that goes to the turbines.

        my comment is oversimplified and partly joke, but nuclear power plants use mostly uranium fuel pellets, which are inserted in metal fuel rods and these into another metal container called fuel assemblies, before the are lowered into the water pool, so fuel and water don’t touch each other, and the vapor cycle is a closed system

          It also only would contaminate the things in water and not the water itself if i understand correctly

            Well it can activate water itself and make F-18, H-3, and N-17 from just H20
