Also, try using an industrial information panel and a remote sensor kit, rather than the thermal monitor! It lets you monitor the status of your reactor from (afaik) anywhere in your world. Gives more than just temperature, too!

A final note: the blast radius of a nuclear reactor is not 15-20 blocks, unless it varies based on what's in it. I once intentionally blew one up by filling it with uranium in creative mode (yes, every single space had uranium. it took about ten seconds to blow, and according to the reactor planner it would burn out hv cable!), and the blast radius was more like 15-20 chunks.
