Ruined Reactors

The aging facility on … is an abandoned reactor power plant. Radiation half life calculations suggest a serious containment failure occurred here over 10,000 years ago.

Systems are offline and the physical structure shows signs of significant damage throughout.

Several of the reactors on … shows signs of severe meltdown. Many of the containment vessels have been liquefied into radioactive slag.

This section of the facility is littered with twisted metal and ruptured coolant tubes. Despite heavy data corruption we were able to determine that an emergency shutdown procedure was initiated but never completed.

… identified major flaws in the design of the crude nuclear fission facility on ….

Despite the presence of dozens of reactors, only minimal cooling systems were attached. Few of the site's systems are automated, necessitating a large workforce to maintain its normal operating conditions. It was clearly built by those who had yet to fully master even the most basic of nuclear principles.

After unlocking a set of sealed blast doors, we found an emergency evacuation zone within the reactor complex on ….

The small hangar features a row of quick launch shuttle berths. Most are vacant and marked by thruster burns suggestive of a rapid vessel departure thousands of years ago.

The twisted wreckage of a shuttle occupies the final bay, its launch clamps still attached. We salvaged what we could from the debris, but no remains of any occupants could be found.

We entered the underground sections of the reactor facility on … through a series of lead plated security doors. Radiation readings rose sharply.

Inside we found a vast chamber storing thousands of steel lined casks. Many were fire damaged and leaking unstable uranium and plutonium isotopes.

The … civilization that built this place had apparently not yet discovered methods for the proper recycling of nuclear fuel. These discarded isotopes still contain tremendous energetic potential.
