Like I said, the bedrock ingot block (9x bedrock ingot) is 97% and plenty expensive. The depleted fuel can only be obtained by being at the reactor stage, so perhaps mixing bedrock dust and depleted dust you get shielding dust? Then pulse jet?

That's precisely what I did. I put two waste containers over top of my reactor, with reflectors above. That way neutrons emitted downward and a portion of those that went upward and were reflected feed back into the reactor. The rest are lost to the shielding... I know that bedrock ingots are...

You can also use the spent fuel container neutrons to feedback to the reactor.

The issue wasn't just chunk loading... We had limited duration Chickenchunks loaders, so I got 4 hours after logout. When that expired it'd make a crater on next login.

Higher temperature == more power. Even if they have the same number of interactions, they should produce more total power.

I've been experimenting with reactors for quite a while, and this is the first stable reactor at scale I've gotten working in survival. It absolutely must be chunk loaded, which ruined some of my past attempts in 1.6. I'm pleased with the amount of power, and you could make a bigger one. I...

I agree, until Sponge is released Cauldron isn't worth using. However I'd argue that current mods are a poor substitute for what Bukkit plugins there used to be. Forge modding was all about new content and gameplay, never server administration. Bukkit was only server side. Thus server admins...

Breeder reactors are for making higher grade fuel (plutonium). This was the next step up from an HTGR, which I had previously. I'm considering swapping over to ammonia to double the power output, and I have lots of low grade thorium to try in it next.

After experimenting with many designs in creative, I've built my reactor in our very hard mode survival server! I used what I consider a very simple design, yet in implementation it was still huge, complex, and very powerful! 940 MW/s and more steam than a single turbine could handle. The slide...

I'll make a separate posting. I'm very impressed though, I ran 1.5 stacks of fuel pellets through and put over 100 TJ into an auroral battery overnight. Add to it that I'm on a finite water map and it's even more awesome. EDIT...

Let me say that despite the FPS woes, I can't believe how powerful this reactor is. I must have really underestimated the strength, or recycling waste neutrons adds that much more in 1 direction only. I've got over 13000 steam stuck in the pipes and my turbine has been running 100% for hours...

I've had fps lag before where I had frequent movement near transparent blocks and microblocks that was very laggy over lighting recalculation. Been a few versions, but I ripped out everything transparent just in case.

It's only 12 core, 2x2x3. It's blocked in on all sides, so I never see the neutrons. I already eliminated all the glass in the area to reduce lighting issues. I know steam causes issues, but when I am not making steam with the grate off the lag continues.

No Extra Utils and NO infinite water. I have to produce what I use.

I'm already on minimum particles. I also just removed every transparent or glass surface in the reactor chunk. Nor I. I would expect some from the steam, but that's not on when it starts. I already tore out all my LP! I haven't put it back in yet. Water from dewpoint aggregator using RoC...

I'm quite frustrated that I removed all of my logistics pipes, and built my reactor all in one chunk to minimize chunk updates. I was getting 20-30 FPS in my base, til I put fuel in the reactor. Suddenly FPS drops to 10. Next I enable the steam grate for the turbine, now I'm getting 6 FPS. Only...

Isn't the dividing line between long and short term waste 1 year? I'm seeing stuff 1-4 years, about 4 types, in the spent fuel container... They aren't transferring to the drums, should they eventually dissipate?

Is there a good in-game way to find out? I have no idea how to query that.

Odd, Railcraft World Anchors appear to block 100% of neutrons, but I can't explain why.

I wanted to share my testing for waste management from Reika's ReactorCraft in version v6f. Fission reactors always produce waste of two varieties, short (<1 year) and long term. These are stored differently. All waste should be piped from the reactor cores where a buildup would reduce the...
