Not the Concept
May I suggest that nothing's ever wrong with the concept. It's sometimes the details, but more often the implementation.
Insane? More power to you! (I admit that sometimes, things tap my berserk button.)

Plausibility depends on detail.
You're creating the world and its rules.
Years ago, Erin told me that TG readers are amongst the most forgiving in the world when faced with having their disbelief suspended.
I've seen little evidence to dispute her assertion.

Maybe you ought to post it first. You can always revise it after.
It would be a shame if your reader talked you out of writing something you liked.

Author's discretion
If one is writing fiction it is up to the author what does or doesn't fit into their story line. There will always be readers who want to critique a story because it didn't mesh with how their mind finctionalized said story. It seems Friction, ..., Fiction writers are always ahead of the curve in writing about the future that has yet to be and comes along later. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was written long before nuclear subs were even a concept in anyone's mind except Jules Vern.
Write your tale and take as much literary discretion as you wish. Send me your autograph so I can claim I knew you when.

Failure is only if one never tries. Edison didn't fail. As he said, he learned a thousand ways to not make a light bulb.

To Go Further
That book was written before anyone had any concept of the atomic nucleus -- or at least any observational concept. As far as I know, the first indication appeared when someone put an alpha-emitter in a vacuum chamber, and detected helium accumulating. Specifically, the alpha particle was the He2+ atom, and I think known to be a small dense object. This was before the Rutherford experiment.
Does anyone know the basis of the name "helium"?
-- Daphne Xu
Helios?
(Mercury) Messenger to the Gods (among other things) could fly? Lighter than air?

Wikipedia says:
Helium was named for the Greek Titan of the Sun, Helios,
because:
It was first detected as an unknown, yellow spectral line signature in sunlight, during a solar eclipse in 1868...
but I personally think the name was taken from this delightful ditty,
which I find so soothing + comforting in these worrisome times:

I know two downs and a up
I know two downs and a up make a neutron and two up and one down make a proton. Two rights don't make a left but two wrongs don't make a right either.
