An official RF API for 1.8+ doesn't exist, remember?
Chances are if it's stable enough and widespread enough people will switch to it.
Also, (back on topic) does this mod have LFTRs? I will be so happy if there is.

Well, unless something happens to RF, I will continue to support it. Tesla seems pretty nice so I'll certainly look into support for that, too. I'm also thinking about making the energy-consuming machines able to accept IC2 EU too (I don't want to have the generators produce EU as this would very much upset the balance of IC2's energy generation).
No, it does not.... at the moment...
I think that the steam-generating fission reactors will eventually be specifically molten salt reactors in MC 1.9.4 and above. The current steam system is very much a temporary one.
New version of the mod available - 1.8a! This update mainly fixes a lot of bugs and just irons out a few things here and there. Changelog below:

1.8b will be out soon, which will, as far as I know, fix a bug where the steam decompressors were crashing when connected to some types of fluid pipe.
For now, I will paste a message I posted on GitHub to someone asking about turbines in the mod - I think sgbros1 will be happy
"Currently there is a temporary system in place involving steam and denser forms of steam that needs to be decompressed.
After I've updated the mod to MC 1.10, I want to have a different type of fission reactor in the game. The RF-producing one (passively cooled) will, as ever, require fuel cells of solid fissile material to run.
I plan on having a steam-producing reactor which requires molten salts of fissile material as fuel (a molten salt reactor). These fuels will require more work to create (more intricate processing system, involving fluorides, centrifuging etc.), but the reactors will overall produce more power (perhaps roughly 75% more power).
The structure of the actively cooled, molten salt reactors will be similar to the passively-cooled ones, except for obvious differences such as ports for water/steam input/output and the passage of the molten salt.
I haven't quite figured out exactly how the steam turbine generator should look or function, but I have two options. Either I go for a BR or Mekanism style turbine, which is essentially a big multiblock with a big, in-world turbine at the centre, or I go for a GregTech or Railcraft style turbine, where a multiblock is built, and then a turbine is placed in a GUI. Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter, because it gives me much more freedom when it comes to the interior structure of the turbine multiblock, but I will set up a poll on the Minecraft Forum thread and see if there's a clear favourite"
On top of this, I would like to say there could be up to 25 new fission fuels in version 1.9!

i skimmed the threads and since you mentioned EU, will there be any support for external monitoring like Nuclear control 2 mod or computercraft/opencomputers?
we usually had alarms across the base and sometimes a multi glow block meter that can be seen from the farside of the main room in case of meltdown alarms would trigger if heat went above a certain point or ring if running out of fuel or water causing people to panic and fix the issue or run for thier lives and get as far away as possible...big reactor kinda spoiled everyone as there was no fear of blowing up.
Since the reactors output a comparator-able redstone signal, you can already do this with other mods. You just need to send the redstone signal (wired or wirelessly) into something like NC2's scram alarm (or OC/CC's computers) for handling.
There have always been plans to add CC or OpenComputers integration, but I've just never had the time to just work out how it works, on top of everything else. As for EU, when the mod updates to MC 1.10, I hope to have support for IC2 EU and Tesla. Finally there's nuclear control, which I've simply never looked at at all - perhaps I will.
Anyway, as Pyure says, if you want a 'thermometer', you can simply use a redstone comparator reading the controller.

To Asgaard made a How To/Spotlight on Nuclearcraft that it is currently at part 2:
I've watched all three now, with at least one more to come - they're very nice for those who want to learn the basics.

Also, while I get on with updating, I'm going to upload some videos on the YT channel. First, videos for versions 1.8 and 1.9, then some more tutorial-like videos, which will remain useful even after the mod updates to 1.10.2.
On top of that, it seems we have the start of something which I've always thought would be a possibility - the sharing of reactor designs similar to what's done with IC2 and BR designs: Here are some very efficient 5x5x5 reactors from PhiFouX13, one using LEU fuel and the other using LEU-Ox fuel that you may want to use in your world. The video he shows these off in is here.
EDIT: Looking at the video, I don't think PhiFoux's config's are the defaults, as he has accidentally kept the heat production stats of older versions. Therefore, these designs will most likely not work. However, the point still stands that the sharing of designs could be a big part of this mod

Nice I have done a ton of experimentation to try to maximize efficiencies, but I know the numbers and such are in flux so I didn't really keep track of designs.
One neat thing: if you have buildcraft installed, you can blueprint a NC reactor and rebuild entirely as needed, even between worlds. The only thing that doesn't seem to replicate properly is liquids (in the event that you use water blocks). BC *should* copy this properly but it doesn't seem to work as intended (issue on their side, nothing to do with NC)
