If you fill even 1 reactor chamber with uranium it will explode almost immediately. But anybody who does that really didn't do their research.

The thermal monitor requires a second to detect and react to the heat and will not have enough time to do so if a reactor is truly critical. Which is why it's important to have all the precations in place.
