Thanks very much. I'll get my setup changed and give it whirl

So I've got myself a decent CASUC reactor running, but thinking long term, I can't very well quarry the entire world to get uranium, so am looking at breeding as a viable option.
I also quite fancied the challenge after successfully building and running my current reactor several times with only a single pop.

I wanted to start small until I got the basics down so have gone for a single reactor with no chambers.

Worked out the following setup, which has quite a good yield for its size

Anyhoo, it keeps either not matching the yield , or it goes pop, which is either over cooling or over heating.

When it blows, it seems to be shortly after I've added the 4 lava buckets, but before I've managed to turn the reactor and cooling on. (Yay for Quantum armor)
I have a couple questions now which may help me solve my problems.

1. Do the isotopes heat up even when the reactor isn't on?
2. Should I be activating my cooling at exactly the same time as the lava buckets start?

Thanks very much for your help
