My server is running FtB Monster 1.1.0 w Gregtech. I'm looking at setting up a nuclear reactor, but I don't want to vaporize my whole base. So I was wondering if there is a good guide/planner out there for it. I heard that the old planner at http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/v3/reactorplanner.html was out of date and didn't work for IC2E. I also read that I should make a full hazmat suit or I will die of radiation poisoning. However, in the game there are only chest and legs. Is this because IC2E support has been dropped for Minecraft 1.6, or is that a full suit?

The rest of the hazmat suit are the rubber boots and scuba mask.
 
Ahhh... good to know. Now I just need to find a good planner so I can figure out how all this shit works w/o blowing everything up.
 
The computer cube nuke planner is broken in 1.6. For the most part, the reactorplanner is ok for the simpler designs, but anything GT related (plutonium, breeders, etc) is broken. He never updated his nuclear stuff for 1.6.

And yes, you definitely need all the parts for the hazmat suit in 1.6. Radiation poisoning will kill you.

Also check out the RTG (think that's it) reactor. It uses processed spent fuel for constant EU generation. I found DW20s server play from a season or two back to be a good source of info for 1.6 nuclear info.
 
So are there no good planners or plans out there for IC2E (w or w/o gregtech)?
Not really. Also nuclear reactors are still rather disappointing in output compared to more conventional means of generating EU, because the key significant factor is the transmission rather than the generation.
