progressive heat monitoring system for a 5x5 reactor,

V497 · May 15th 2015

Good morning! Having kind of accepted that turbines will block well at least until I figure out the best way to resolve this I have decided to look into something else and that is to make a progressive heat monitoring system for the 5x5 reactor on my moon base using nuclear control, computercraft(probably) project red and wireless Redstone,
What I intend to do:
==================

Create and audiovisual representation of the heat level in the reactor that progresses along a certain spectrum from green meaning safe, to yellow meaning caution and then to red meaning " status critical, shut me down immediately!" I would also like to automate this. An optional mod I would use for a vocal warning would be peripherals ++ that has a speaker and chat box that can be utilised for extra warnings.
Is this idea feasible at all? I mean I know that it is slightly possible, all I need to know is is the there a way to link up the 5x5 reactor to this system?
If you ask me where computercraft comes in I will be using computercraft as a monitor system in tandem with the advanced information panels of nuclear control.

What are the chances of successfully creating and utilising this system?

You certainly could monitor you reactor with nuclear control, but I have no idea how the computercraft integration has (or hasn't) kept up with changes to give you all the information you want/need. If you just set green/yellow/red as 3 distinct points, it'd still be easyeasy if you used thermal monitors, but a scale might be difficult to have real time updating heat levels, unless it can still do that.
