More efficient/completely safe nuclear reactor setups?

[WilliamW1979]

This is my reactor I use in game, but it will require you to use redstone wiring for the timing but it works great other then that.

Specs are:

Active 2100 EU/t
Effective 933.3 EU/t
Generate time 4 seconds
Cool Time 5 seconds

Yea, Condensators are made of fail. If you try to make the claim that you can just make lapis with UUM, you will rapidly find out that it will cost you more EU to make the lapis than you make from the reactor, ending up in a net sum loss of energy, plus the added risk of explosion due to automation failure.

Condensators are only viable if you have bees to make lapis. There's no other way you can get them fast enough (aside from running a bunch of quarries). CRCS is better (no running costs), though the startup costs are pretty big. Not to mention I still haven't been able to automate them.

to guys talking condensators: this is for designs that don't turn into nuclear warheads when your computer decides to hiccup at the wrong time.
no condensators please.
only running costs should be the materials for double/quad cells if used.

if I want a totally ridiculous power output, ill put together a fusion plant.


oh, and "stick it in the middle of your base" really?
ill be putting this either in a separate building or a deep basement level.
I don't appreciate my base being turned into a crater, taking everything with it.
if I want to start over, I can do that from the main menu.

This isn't your thread, don't tell people what they can & can't post in it. If someone has a completely safe condensator setup, they can post it here. I had a completely safe condensator setup in my last world that ran without any problems at all (unfortunately I had to abandon it for other reasons).

However, I would agree with not putting it in the middle of your base, unless you surround it with blast-resistant blocks (just to be on the safe side).

Hello kind sirs,

I recently started experimenting with reactors. My objectives were :

• Efficiency ;
• 4-chamber reactor(s) ;
• Minimal running costs.

My experiments told me that efficiency couldn't be achieved trought single uranium cells (feel free to correct me). But I think I managed to do something quite good through 4-chambers quad uranium and reflectors. I'm unsatisfiedby the output, but its scalability compensates.

- Eff. 7, Overall 6,46
- 28 MEU @ 140 EU/t, Overall 129,1 EU/t
- Running cost 12 UU

Easy automation.

Hi Guys, i need 640EU in reactor how i can do it? I like Turn on My Reactor And i Go away from it.
