✠ Fission Reactor

A very old reactor type which relies on Nuclear fission by splitting atoms of radioactive materials. This kind of reaction is controlled by moderator buffers and control rods to prevent reactor overheat and inevitable explosion. Usually contained in a water tank, due to the very high radiation absorbance level and cooling. Further contained in a lead body to due to the sheer density of the material and its ability to stop gamma radiation with relative ease. These types of reactors use water and heat to pump steam into mechanic rotors to generate electricity. Water emits a bright blue light as it is slowing down the particles from the reactor. Uranium and Plutonium are the primary fuels and create several byproduct materials from this reaction.
