A nuclear reactor is no more liable to explode, and is clean energy technically.

More or less. As it stands, even if you could somehow damage his Fusion Core either by doing enough external damage or somehow getting Gren to literally open himself up for you, the worse that I want him to do is cause a localized radiation leak. You'd have to work a bit harder for him to become a walking warhead. And while Gren is still using the "Old Tech", he has upgraded since he left the White Fang. The fact he won't explode into a Hiroshima bomb is one of the upgrades you could say he got for himself once he cut ties with the White Fang. Removing his new safety features may turn him back into a walking warhead, but right now that's not something he's capable of.

I mean, there's penny, but k.

It was merely a parallel for him saying how improbable it would be for someone to let a reactor into a school.
<Snipped quote by Krayzikk>
Someone could have come up with a perfectly valid containment system/failsafe in the case the reactor is even remotely close to a breach. You know, sorta like a nuclear reactor? I mean RWBY has access to dust.
And in the first place, why did anyone even consider letting it's so called students run off and participate in activity that is regulated to the police/military, not 14-18 year olds.
It could even be asked who thought it a good idea to give a young teenaged girl a giant scythe that can transform into a high-caliber sniper rifle?
I'unno? Reasons? xD

I think a rp based on a show where they somehow have flying ships and mecha, it's not too hard to believe that someone might have a mini reactor implanted in them (Gren could literally just say he has an artificial limb and I doubt the people checking, if at all, at a metal detector, would try say nope you can't go in.)
And here's the thing, RWBY doesn't follow rl logic strictly. I mean flying military ships, semblances? Mecha?
keyword is "None of the ones we created". Pretty sure RWBY doesn't follow the tech tree of reality. They have plenty we don't have.
How much energy Gren would need is never really specified anyway so there's that. I doubt he needs the full on power a city might need.
Whether the RWBY world is capable of creating a small scale fusion reactor, I will have to admit, is a bit of a stretch.
However I also chose a purposely less advance and possibly more volatile alternative of nuclear power instead of an Arc Reactor to give the impression that Gren, compared to someone like Penny, uses older quality stuff.
I never said anything about an explosion. I'm pointing out the effect of a radiation leak from a reactor that is, by definition, leagues above any fusion reactor we have created today.
Fusion reactor we have today work by heating gasses to their fusion point, and as soon as we stop heating them, they repel each other again. Thus the reaction stops. Any reactor that powers something, and as such creates a net positive energy output, will need to be self sustaining. In other words, when the reactor is breached, it will not instantly stop the reaction.
The reaction will continue after reactor breach. Eventually it will collapse, yes, but it is not instant. And until it does you will have an unconfined reaction occurring. Which will both put off a ton of radiation and, yes, have explosive potential. A fusion bomb is by definition an uncontained fusion reaction.
Fusion reactors are only safe by government standards because none of the ones we have created, ever, are on anywhere near the level of what would be powering Gren.
