Ok, so what I am trying to accomplish is whenever my system is full of power, turn the reactor off. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
How to Automate Big Reactors.

Two things to get you started:
TE3 energy cells will give a redstone signal into a comparator proportional to their fullness.
BigReactors have a redstone port to toggle status.

Three redstone ports. two set to output a signal based on capacity. One set to output above a certain mark (I usually go 90-95%), another for below a certain amount (I use 5-10%). The third port set to input under power control and set to toggle when it receives a signal. Daisy chain the three together using your preferred redstone method and turn it on.
There is a way using Rednet as well but that's beyond my personal skill level.
While true, unless running through a turbine setup is not needed. The internal capacitor will work just fine for the purpose needed.

If you have mfr ibstalled simpelst way is two rednet ports.
Set both on white channel (top left).
First port output energy level.
Second set to input cobtrol rod level for all control rods.
that way the reactor regulates it self.
ofc connect them both with a rednet cable.

Or you could grow uranium from magical crops and turn it into an infinite supply of yellorite so you dont have to turn it off.
the left most port controls on/off status of the reactor, which is hooked up to the output of the rs latch. the middle port is set to emit a signal when power buffer drops below 10%, the rightmost is set to emit when power buffer is above 95%. use jacketed wires to interface to the port, then convert to alloy wire when wiring the latch
This is taken from another thread I made a few weeks ago for the same thing. I no use this setup, and it works like a gem.
They can produce just about anything, but that doesn't fix the problem of you outputting power you aren't using. Of course if you were running an MFR drill, those things will damn near use as much as you pump into them, lol.
Random chance like any ore. Weighted with other rare ores. Yellow focus x6 makes it come up pretty often.
5000 Rf/t to each pre-charger for max speed.
Yes. But why build one when you could build two at twice the cost?
you can sufficiently run a drill with just 2 prechargers...if you're producing 20k+ rf per tick...run 2 drills 
even better...once you got the active reactor worked out...try turning it into a passive reactor (steam output, water input) and run some turbines...youll get way more power.

the power output is scaled up on my server, a 7by 7 reactor is producing 123k rf per tick, i wonder how much the turbines would make...
Build more laser drills, then more reactors, then more laser drills.
Seems legit.
