(This will be posted in two sections, unfortunately copying tables doesn't work so if anyone can help me on posting tables it will be greatly appreciated)

Here is a list with information on each type of fuel that can be used in a nuclear reactor. I aim to have a thread full of helpful information and some good basic equations for nuclear reactors components like coolant cell as well as Greg Tech items like Nitrogen cells and so on.


Common equation used for cell pulses:
Uranium cell: P=1+N
Dual/Quad Uranium cell: P=1+(C/2)+N

Common Equation used for heat generated per pulse:
Uranium cell: H=2xPx(P+1)
Dual/Quad Uranium cell: H=2xCxPx(P+1)
Plutonium cell: H=3x1x(1+2)

Common Equation used for energy per pulse:
Uranium cell: 5xP
Dual/Quad Uranium cell: 5xCxP

>n: Nearby uranium cells (by "nearby" I mean one slot horizontally or vertically)
> p: Amount of pulses this reactor tick
>h: Heat produced this reactor tick
>e: Energy produced this reactor tick
>c: Amount of cells in this item

Common terms:
Pulse: The number of pulses that a uranium cell gets is how much times it produces it's base output (e.g. a quad uranium cell has 4 uranium cell in it, each one get 3 pulses means each produces 15EU/t means an output of 60EU/t)

Plutonium cell: Plutonium cells produce2x EU, 9/4 ratio of heat and last 2x the lifetime.

Thorium cell: They produce1/4 of the heat, last 5x the lifetime and the energy output is on a 1:5 ratio.
