You like most people greatly overestimate nuclear reactor's destructive power, as there was only a brief flash of radiation as it went critical, and it now lies inert 30 feet below ground

//That's not how nuclear materials work, period. Firstoff, you need at minimum a baseball sized mass of highly concentrated nuclear material to make it work at all, and that's using Plutonium which is even more reactive than Uranium. To do it with Uranium you end up with over a ton of the stuff to even have a chance.

//Secondly, a critical mass can and will give off lethal amounts of radiation in the blink of an eye. Even a subcritical assembly can give off deadly doses with almost trivial provocations.

//30 feet is not nearly deep enough to shield a core. It would have to be buried more along the lines of 3000 feet deep in a concrete and lead lined vault that could tolerate every conceivable disaster scenario known to mankind to actually stay safe.

//We need to retcon this back to where the mecha was overheating but hadn't yet ejected its core. Otherwise Achroma Comito and I all face dead characters due to lethal radiation exposure, and the town would have to be evacuated due to contamination.

// that's current day tech.

// Just please stop trying to science this to death, whatever makes it work how it was described works. I'm sure in a world of ftl and magic someone would figure out micro fission reactors
Edit: this is a semi serious rp right? TREAT IT LIKE ONE! I'm out for now this is too frustrating to have to get hard science right in a setup that has freaking spell casting.

//Physics does not change no matter how much science you have. And even magic must still obey physics to some extent. I had planned on the fire department showing up to continue soaking it after Danu ran out of water, but with the core material exposed it is now a deadly situation that would be suicide for a firefighter to respond to.

//A scifi setting with technology as advanced as they have in this storyline would have almost certainly come up with a far safer means of portable power than any sort of nuclear fission technology. Why would anyone develop such a dangerous tech further when safer alternatives exist?

Gregor can see a faint white glowing on the edge of the forest, someone else had come to help clean up the mess!

With cold water like that the mech would stop overheating, although it was too late to save the core it would at least remain inside the body of the unit well enough for the remains to be cut up and taken to proper disposal.

Whoever this was that had come to help, they were risking their life. The core had almost certainly breached containment and was giving off potentially lethal amounts of radiation.

*the avali begins to walk quicker, seeing the faint glow.*
"Yeah, this can't be good. And why is there so suddenly so much water."

*the mech spits out a few last words*
Reactor critical, engaging protocol: oscar mike echo golf alpha

*the mech leans forwards as a small launch rail slides sideways out the back and fires a toaster sized object off with a rocket, which can be seen parachuting down somewhere. The mech then holds up a large metal rugby ball like object which soon reveals itself to be a single use EMP, but before it goes off the chassis of the mech ruptures along a faultline with a bang and a fizzle, filling the air with a billowing cloud of steam and causing a dull blue glowing fog as it falls onto it's knees, the core is shunted into a highly heat resistant and heavy alloy box, forcing it to dissipate heat and go supcritical. The truly ancient mech is nearly split in half and has been completely destroyed on the inside, almost split completely in half as well. A few seconds later the EMP goes off and sends out enough energy to fry all its circuitry*
// better?

Pretty soon though fire trucks arrive and secure the scene.

Once they do, Danu allows herself to be brought by the medics over to where everyone else near the mech was to be decontaminated as necessary. Fortunately the radioactive materials stayed inside it for the most part, so the only danger was the effects of immeadiate exposure.



A medic in a hazmat suit approaches Gregor with a scanner, checking for any contamination. "This area is being cordoned off for hazmat cleanup. Since you were exposed, we need to take you for decontamination and medical attention."


Similar happens to achroma, two people in hazmat suits approach- one marked as a policeman, the other as a medic. They start to scan him, and inform him that he needs to accompany them to decontamination.
