Im looking to tap into nuclear power, I'm currently on a multiplayer server with gregtech on with the mindcrack mod-pack, and I cant seem to get any further than having depleted isotope cells and near depleted uranium cells, (those are the easy craftables). I've looked on quite a few sites and none that i've found seem to say how to re-enrich the cells from the very blank start. Anyone know how to do it?

Depleted isotopes convert into enriched cells in a reactor chamber.
Base Recharge time is 10000 reactors ticks (10000 seconds) when adjacent to a single uranium cell.
The more fuel cells (uranium, plutonium, or thorium) adjacent to the isotope the faster it charges.
The hotter the reactor the faster it charges.
This process is called breeding and is often the first or second reactor you make, so you can craft 8 depleted cells out of your uranium ingots instead of just 1 uranium cell.
For some good designs check this thread:

Cheap breeder or thorium breeder are probably a good cheap choice. A good first reactor is the beginner reactor 3. From there you have a lot of options.

No, you put the depleted cells next to normal uranium cells (or thorium, plutonium not really recommended) in a reactor designed for breeding. Not sure how you're skipping the standard uranium cells (just cell+uranium ingot), but you can also get cells by centrifuging uranium dust. That also gives you some plutonium and thorium to play with.
I say this because gregtech ( i think its that) wont let me craft the standard uranium cell with that recipe i've tried already I'll try the centrifuge and see that, that's one i have not tried
GT still lets you craft it, but Greg moved all the ____ + cell = _____cell recipes to the canning machine. Toss an ingot and a cell in and you're good to go.
So if I play a depleted uranium one next to the isotope it will recharge the 10k ticks? If im reading that correctly
No you need a fuel cell to recharge with. Fuel cells would be: Uranium Cell, Thorium Cell, or Plutonium Cell and their dual/quad variants.
depleted uranium + coal dust crafts into an isotope cell.
Isotope cell in an active reactor next to a fuel cell recharges the isotope. If you have ID's shown you should see it countdown from xxxx:9999 to xxxx:0.
When the isotope fully charges it becomes an re-enriched uranium cell.
Re-enriched uranium cells can either be crafted with coal dust to make a uranium cell or 8 of them centrifuged to make thorium+plutonium.
Edit forgot about the gregtech canning machine change. You may need that for your first cell, or centrifuge 16 uranium dust to get your first fuel cells and run thorium + plutonium reactors...
Odd issue here I put them into the canning machine as shown (http://puu.sh/2mZ7S) but its not starting up, could it be the recipe is disabled?
maybe flip them around? I've done all my canning so far with the automatic canning machine, which has a slightly different UI, but it should work the same way.Odd issue here I put them into the canning machine as shown (http://puu.sh/2mZ7S) but its not starting up, could it be the recipe is disabled?
