What follows is a re-telling of possibly the craziest week in Equestria's history. Most remember as the Week of Wackiness, but Twilight Sparkle has her own name for it.
The week where Celestia went crazy.

I love when someone spills 2015 into my 2024 new stories box!

I'm out to break the record for longest time between updates
This is one of the stories of all time
Thanks.
Ah yes, exquisite vintage horse words with a distinct fruity top note
Yo, reading a story from the depths of the 2015 artistic landscape got me like:

Ah yes, my blood is on the dance floor right now.
And then what happened? You can't leave us on this cliffhanger!
A story from before I was even in the fandom emerging from the depths! Aaaaaaa! (Also you're awesome!)
Bitchin'.
Well, more accurately, probably just heavily irradiate it. Really the only way a nuclear fission reactor could explode is if it overheats its coolant and turns it into steam so quickly, the sudden increase in pressure causes the reactor to more or less "pop" like overfilling a balloon (extremely simplifying it here, but that's basically what happens in a nutshell). And that happening and how big a "pop" one gets depends on a whole wide array of factors, the reactor's overall size and yield being critical ones, and since this is all for a fridge, I assume Celestia isn't using a full-scale fission reactor anyway and thus limited in scope.
...then again, she is looking to make "the coolest fridge of all time" here and has no sense of limits, so...
Anyway, such a steam explosion would be enough to take out the reactor itself and maybe some of the things immediately around it (so in this case, Celestia, Twilight, and probably the basement they're sitting in) but the rest of Canterlot would be much more in danger of the extreme amounts of radiation leaking from the by-now-exposed and out of control reactor core than the initial steam explosion.
This has been another episode of "Scyphi Hyperanalyzes Something That Was Never Meant To Be That Analyzed." Thank you for watching.
In other news, Equestria clearly isn't going to be running out of snow anytime soon.
Any thoughts on last February’s Season 5 trailer? Don't ask me why, but I have a gut feeling that the pink unicorn at the 0:46 mark is going to be a really big deal.
Okay, all obligatory worn-out timeframe jokes aside, this was a pleasantly goofy little read! My favorite part's split between Twilight's exasperated "Fine, whatever, blow up Canterlot" and the perfectly comedically timed sequence of run-on "and then"s that caps the whole thing off. Hats off to you and your circa-2015 self! :)

It's not just steam explosions. In extremely unusual accidents like at SL-1, a combination of design flaws and operator error can cause a fission reactor to go prompt critical (kind of like what happens in a fission bomb). The potency of the explosion may be further increased if molten metals (like aluminum) contact and react with the water coolant, producing large quantities of hydrogen gas in a confined space, which then ignites and explodes. Kyle Hill has some great videos on SL-1 and other nuclear accidents if you want to know more.

Like I said, I was extremely oversimplifying there, as there are, as you say, some exceptions, but those are rare and usually under highly unusual circumstances or brought about by specific design flaws, which I figured weren't going to be relevant to the fanfic.
In any case, my intent was more to clarify that any explosions wouldn't be from the nuclear reaction itself exploding and even then it would mostly destroy/damage just the reactor and it's immediate surroundings and not any whole cities that happen to be nearby--it's not like any nuclear fission reactor would suddenly become a nuclear bomb and produce a Hiroshima-esque nuclear explosion the moment something goes wrong, as the fanfic was implying (albeit jokingly, hence my admission to over-analyzing). So I really just wanted to make clear there would be no nuclear explosions leveling Canterlot here, more just exposing it to a whole lot of radiation leaking from an exposed core caught in a runaway meltdown reaction that'd be leftover after any and all explosions, assuming there are any explosions at all (as a reactor melting down doesn't guarantee one).
But yes, ditto on Kyle Hill having some great videos on these sort of subjects for all those interested--it's where I've been learning a lot on this subject myself as of late and made me realize how much the dangers of nuclear reactors really are rather exaggerated by the general public, among other things.

Who would've thought publishing a random story after 9 years would teach me so much about nuclear reactors and how they melt down

I'm sure they'll find some ridiculous way to integrate her into the main cast, and everyone will complain.
I'm glad you liked the story by the way! I'm honestly unsure why I never published it.
Glad I finally have time to read this. It took me 9 years to get through My Little Dashie and this was next on my list.

So true
Nobody:
Fimfic: Here's a fanfic that has not been updated for 9 yeas in featured!

I aim to please
This story is pure unhinged chaos and it’s awesome!
That was a great story, and it's cool that you wrote it over 9 years ago.
Guess Celestia created a different kind of snow (as in, actual snow) than what was expected from her endeavors.
What I mean is, there was no "snow".
Radioactive fallout.
Why didn’t Princess Luna stop her sister?
11900117
So in my extra detailed lore that I just came up with right now, Luna is trapped in the moon again because she tried to stop Celestia from reforming the boy band N*SYNC and using their concerts as a guise for contaminating everypony's seats with anthrax to see what happens.

If this is not a chapter, I'll commit like removal of the third degree.
Oh, silly me. It was both kinds of snow. The cold kind and the explode kind.
And you seem to have invented insane Trollestia, the most dangerous force in the known universe.
11898552
That's what we're here for.
