Only way I know how is to put it adjacent to the fuels but I have a hybird reactor that I cannot put a coolant cell next to the double plutonium in the middle. So how does one pull the heat from the hull into coolant cells effectively? Oh and if there a way to milk out more than 31mil eu per plutonium than this hybird then I would like to see the design, but I gotta be able to run it neutral or positive. (using no more fuel than the centrifuging gives you, which is 1 plutonium and 8 thorium per 16 uranium dusts) So any way to put the heat into coolant cells effectively or do I have to setup a reactor for every hybird setup of a double plutonium and 4 quads thorium surrounding it with OCed heat vents taking up nearly the entire 6 core reactor?

Iridium neutron reflectors (or whatever they're called)
Maybe I thinking those are trashy total output cause I'm an idiot and not counting how much power I could also get out of the quad thorium+reflectors instead of only the plutonium. I'll have to run the cube to see if they worth using when I have to sacrifice one per quad fuel cell to get the coolant cells touching them.

It would help if you could clarify:
- Which version of GregTech you are running
- What your reactor setup actually looks like
- What you are trying to achieve in terms of output, efficiency, cost and cooling solution

In the meantime: How to transfer heat into a coolant cell without touching a fuel cell.
You will need a 2x2 space of component slots. In one corner, put a reactor heat exchanger. in the opposing corner, put the coolant cell. In the two remaining corners, put component heat exchangers. Like so: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyo...t96jv4a15nib51t8gl4alsd3z54v7z2anlr37nzrom0hs
This setup will transfer up to 72 heat from the reactor hull into the coolant cell per reactor tick. You can of course rotate this assembly however you wish; just beware interactions with other components.

Yea looked at outputs of the reflectors and I could just get rid of one to lose a little efficiency to make a plutonium reactor that output 3.1k eu/t without melting anything or any expensive cooling.
