I am trying to make a radioactive area, and am having trouble with finding reference images for the cooling rods being blown out of place after the total meltdown. I did not make the model, but since I have never built one of these before, thought it would do nicely if I used it as a placeholder for now.
It looks like as if you just lazily unanchored the set of cooling rods. I may not have the best knowledge on nuclear reactor physics (yet) but here’s a photo of Chernobyl’s RBMK:
This might be what you’re looking for? I just don’t really find the unanchored rods and plastic-y surface of it. Try to add some more detail in the visuals, and it’ll catch the eye.
