Put in a few uranium cells without any cooling and turn it on.......

Easy enough, but pointless...

Be warned, to go near the enormous crater, you will need a hazmat suit, hazmat pants, a scuba helmet and rubber boots.

It's fairly new. New enough that is wasn't in tekkit. Now, if you go in the crater without a hazmat suit, you get radiation poisoning.


Edit: Just poked around on the wiki, it came in the version with the new reactor mechanics.

Also, the radiation starts at 70% heat, with a 5x5x5 cube of it. When the reactor blows, I'm 90% sure it'll radiate the whole hole. (Lol)

place a reactor, place uranium cells, turn it on... really long fuse tnt with enormus radius.

Or.. to blows it in 0.25 of a second and for the biggest crater that could possibly be made in game with a single reactor just fills a 6 core reactor with Quad Plutonium Cells to the brim ... and pull the lever! You'll get really good but dangerous eye candy to look at.

note, server OP can turn off damage from reactors, so this isn't a dependable way to grief.
What's a pointless option.. there supposed to cause explosions because they Nuclear Reactors! That option just makes nuclear power as safe as IC2 machines it'll only destroy itself so nothing more dangerous than a normal IC2 machine hooked up to wrong voltage. Sure you lose the stuffs in it and the reactor but still it's just OP the reactor because you can just retry the setup again and again because there would be no radiation and damage done to your base.

I don't even pressure plate my doors because they're so annoying to use them for getting in and out. I though reactors explosions are only as powerful as the amount and type of fuel you put in it. (a single uranium explosion is going be a lot smaller than a fulled reactor with Quad Plutonium Cells) Did they change that how reactors explodes now? I get where your's going at but I would just disable them if someone can't controls how they're used. Since that just totally makes their major drawback to just losing the reactor and the stuffs in it. But that's just my opinion so yea they'll always be those to do that or disable their explosions.
