Talk:Tutorial / Safe, Easy, & Powerful Nuclear Reactor/@comment-82.171.138.207-20120823150532/@comment-5416864-20120824020718

If it exploded while you were building it, you must have either ignored some of the instructions or followed the instructions in the wrong. order. This isn't a page to explain how you can setup any nuclear reactor - this is a tutorial on how to build this specific design. You must follow the instructions completely and you cannot skip steps.

If the Reactor is what blew up, then you didn't place the thermal monitor as instructed and you didn't place / turn on the lever as instructed and you placed the Uranium in the reactor without doing either of these things.

If the Steam Engines are what blew up, then you didn't leave the empty space in the middle of the Solar Arrays and the Energy Link and you didn't place the steam engines facing the wooden pipes.

These are the only possible ways this design could blow up while building it.

This setup is completely safe - you just have to pay attention. When I say you have to follow the instructions exactly, I don't mean some of the instructions or some of the time. Read everything and do everything and you will have a completely safe, automated, powerful reactor.
