Nuclear Reactor or bomb? Be more fun to have some RP2 assemblers on frames setting up a reactor, and having some routers or GregTech machines filling with uranium cells and then making the assemblers set a redstone torch down. Then have the entire thing moved behind a forcefield using frames, and wait about 15 seconds.
Note to self: This weekend I am totally coding an IC2 nuke cart. Maybe look into the custom explosion code IC2 has, tweak it a bit so the has a long but narrow explosion.
If you can't see it already I basically am making a cruise missile on steroids. If I can figure out how to do custom renders maybe I can make it look one too.[DOUBLEPOST=1366820961][/DOUBLEPOST]My personal explosive problem in the last few days: If you make a creeper spawner less than 20 blocks tall and it works on drop damage your going to have a bad time.

aww, thought it would go bigger. Exploded a couple of the old ones when trying to work out how to set one up and thought it was more impressive... wonder if it was a supercondensator I blew...
Sorry to waste your time, looks like you had that setup already made, hope you didn't put a full fusion together just to whack it!
edit: This may've been how I blew the other one up - was first time I'd touched any of these blocks.
idsu's > superconductor wire > supercondensator > idsu > bang!
nuclear reactor explosions depend on the amount of uranium/plutonium inside.
how about this: creeper soulshard or this new monster spawner from MFR, right above a mystcraft portal. allows you to instantly send creepers everywhere you want, as long as you equip the sending portal with a linking book.
so, the system works this way: you have an ender pouche, which is linked to an ender chest + a machine that extracts the linking book and sends it over to a linking book slot. so by crafting the linking book and sending it over to the portal, you link it from whereever you are.
with a wireless redstone button, you just activate the soulshard or the MFR-machine, and it spawns creepers, which drop into the portal... and your creeper gun is fully active

In all respects, I would think that a Fusion Reactor explosion would make a Nuclear Reactor explosion look like a tiny puff of smoke.
You would think so, wouldn't you. However, a real fusion reactor would not explode... it wouldn't even utter a "tiny puff of smoke".
The fusion happens in a cloud of plasma contained in a magnetic field inside a vacuum chamber. "Plasma" is another word for "hot air" (for sufficiently high values of "hot"). As soon as the magnetic containment field collapses, the plasma will expand to fill out the vacuum, thereby making the already miniscule reaction mass density even smaller. In the process of expansion, it cools off significantly. Then the plasma comes into contact with the reactor walls. Due to the need for containing an absolute vacuum and the sheer mass of the required electromagnets, these walls are freaking massive. Even if the entire amount of reaction mass hit a single small spot, it wouldn't hurt it significantly. But no, the plasma has already expanded to fill the entire chamber and thus touches all available wall area at once. It will cool itself to room temperature without even causing the cooling circuits of the electromagnets to register even the briefest change in temperature.
In case of a hull breach, you wouldn't get an explosion either. Instead, you're going to get a mass of air rushing /into/ the vacuum chamber, cooling the plasma and snuffing out the fusion in the process.
TL;DR: a RL fusion reactor will just whiff out like a candle in the wind instead of exploding. In that respect the GregTech implementation is actually fully realistic

Fusion Reactor=No Boom-Boom.
Well, I didn't know the exact details of what would happen.
I just figured that in an environment where atoms are whizzing around fast enough to smash into each other with enough force to form new elements, that explosions would be an expected consequence. Or at least, I'm assuming this is what's happening in the fusion reactor, as it's one of the greatest generations of energy in the observable universe.
But, I'm not an astrophysicist.

Nuke cannon with oil instead of water?
Hmmm...I'mma have to try that, as well as some cart tricks. And how I wish those missiles were in Ultimate. Oh well.
I was testing some blast radiuses. iTNT has a really weird shape. I might start mining with it, now that my turtles got boring with my lack of coding know-how.
The dragon is kinda explodey. I wonder...if I nuked the end, would it instantly kill the dragon if it was at the center of the explosion? Same with the wither, but would I get any drops? Hmm...

I think using nukes to fire nukes does not work as well as you might think. You have to use TnT to fire them.
And the Thaumcraft bore-thingy isn't an explodey thing, it's more of a...laser death destructio-fusication thing, but I thought it was worth mentioning due to it's inherent awesomeness.
