Has anyone done this with Reactorcraft, or even tried?

The steam from the fusion reactor output (assuming it was steam) be fed into a railcraft turbine for eu output? or there another way to convert it to EU possibly since there is so much output?

No. Reactorcraft steam is not registered as a fluid. And this is by design to prevent exploits.[DOUBLEPOST=1411758981][/DOUBLEPOST]Adding on to that, the Reactorcraft fusion reactor puts out more power than any IC2/Gregtech wire/storage device could handle.

I was thinking, if it did pipe into the turbine that I'd be able to use ic2 , and that's only because because the turbine outputs about 400 Eu/Tick.

I desperately need some IC2 power, but not quite ready to build solars yet, and geothermals with the rendering become burdensome at times. Any ideas what I can do for it? I have DW20, no gregtech, with some of reika's mods added.[DOUBLEPOST=1411760525][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm fine with it being that way, I honestly didn't know.

Haven't tried it, but you should be able to maybe use a Friction Boiler to turn the shaft power to steam for use in a Railcraft Steam Turbine. I'm not sure of the specifics of the Friction Boiler though, it might not be as efficient of a conversion as RF is.

reactorcraft steam comes out as a block, rather than anything recognisable by more conventional mods.

So no.

This.

What's the process for doing it exactly?
Feed the shaft power into the friction boiler, while also giving the boiler water. Then you can pull steam out of it and feed it into the railcraft steam turbine. There is roughly 10-20% loss of power by doing this, but it's much better then nothing.

Personally, I'd probably just build either a couple railcraft boilers or an IC2 nuclear reactor. If you've gotten to the fusion stage of reactorcraft, producing the uranium for IC2 should be easy.
