due to saftey i disabled meltdown for the testing of a liquid sodium cooled RBMK but when i attempetd to turn on the reactor the temperature just kept rising without the heat exchangers doing anything

is this intenional for it to not work with liquid sodium or is it a bug?

Intentional, RBMKs cannot take thorium or sodium coolants.

Then only PWR and ICF takes sodium and thorium coolants?
