ReactorCraft - clever reactor setups?

Not totally sure what you mean. You mean in your design? As long as a control rod is touching every fuel rod, it's mostly safe™.
i meant using a boiler there, that way it is bombarded by the nuetrons from all sides... let me get back to you on that, im still working on getting my mods to work on minecraft again
I'm having quite the opposite problem of some posters above... I'm producing too much steam ! How the hell do i get rid of it ?
I'm using a 3x3 fission reactor with 12 boilers around it, outputting steam to a single turbine. I have now up to 24 condensers above it, carrying back the steam to a pressurizer then to the boilers. I removed the pumps and everything else and they're bathing in 5 layers of steam blocks under them for 30mn after i broke the grate to stop it. They don't seem to take any steam anymore, their internal tanks are full and no matter what i do i end up with more steam than i can condense back into the system. I thought i could do a simple cycle with it once there's enough of it, but for some reason the steam output seems greater than the water it consumes.
I'm a bit lost as the steam remaining in the world quickly slows the server to a crawl, playing Monster 1.1.0 so the version is a bit outdated. Is there any way to get rid of steam once and for all ? I don't want to release it into the world or keep it stacking forever for performance issues. Next step is to cut down the amount of boiler but that seems counterproductive... It feels like my reactor is *too* effective right now, lol. And i'm not even in a desert or hot biome.

I extract the liquid from the condensers with fluiducts + servos. They easily keep up with the same # of boilers. I then void the liquid if its water. I'd recycle it if it were ammonia.
Well i'm now using conduits and void pipes and it works like a charm, i'm just a bit disappointed that i couldn't get the "intended" method to work at all. I mean, the best way should be to pipe it back into the system as it means using the actual rotarycraft/reactorcraft tools, but the pressurizer didn't seem to do much. Though it's good like that, no performance drop at all, thanks for the answers 
the pressurizer works just not in the intended you hook up the waterpipe the top and leave it supply power to the bottom
If RC pipes do not work on the pressurizer, you are using an old version.Well i'm now using conduits and void pipes and it works like a charm, i'm just a bit disappointed that i couldn't get the "intended" method to work at all.

Reika I'm using the up to date version, 21b? I'm having to use the method I mentioned in my last post to get mine to work

considering the guide says that it outputs liquid from the side
edit: input top, out put sides, bottom power
???
That is correct. Fluid goes in the top and out the sides, and power is supplied from the bottom.
Like I said however that is not how it works in game you put you connect the water pipe to the top and put power in the bottom and it pressurizes the line
Wait...as in the pipe has a pressure? That happens anyways. The pressurizer converts low-pressure working fluid to high-pressure working fluid.
Yup sadly i'm playing an old version (18b), i wish the FTB guys could do a Monster pack update with all the latest versions :/
As a side note, is there a risk going for a Fusion reactor in 18b ? Does it work well enough, or is there a risk with server lag/crash/something not working at all ?
