The ''Nuclear Reactor'' is an advanced machine capable of refining [[Uranium]] into [[Uranium Fuel Ingot]]s, as well as using [[Uranium Fuel Ingot]]s to generate energy.  
The [[Nuclear Reactor]] is a known generator to produce [[EU]].


The first application of a ''Nuclear Reactor'' is to refine [[Uranium]] into [[Uranium Fuel Ingot]]s. Placing a piece of [[Uranium]] into the top slot of a ''Nuclear Reactor'' will refine the [[Uranium]] into four [[Uranium Fuel Ingot]]s; this application of the ''Nuclear Reactor'' doesn't require any additional fuel.
With IndustrialCraft² the reactor system is fully recoded!


The second use of a ''Nuclear Reactor'' is to generate energy with [[Uranium Fuel Ingot]]s. Each ingot, when placed in the bottom slot of the ''Nuclear Reactor'', will generate 40000[[EU]] at a rate of 20[[EU]] per tick. This energy can be used to charge [[RE Battery|RE Batteries]], or the reactor can be connected to cables to power machines directly.  
Instead of lame [[Uranium]] refining, you have to make a good setup for your reactor with all the reactor stuff you can find in the navigation.


When using a ''Nuclear Reactor'', there is a chance the reactor will explode, which can damage terrain, buildings, machines, and nearby players. If the reactor is surrounded by water (source blocks or flowing water), the chance of an explosion will be dramatically lower. Materials such as Obsidian and [[Reinforced Stone]] can be used to build a barrier around the reactor to prevent excessive damage if the reactor explodes.  
But one thing wasn't completly changed: The nuclear melting.
 
In IC² the reactor can hold a value of heat, which get produced by producing energy with [[Uranium Cell]]s. This heat can be reduced by stuff like [[Cooling Cell]]s , [[Integrated Heat Dispenser]]s and so on.
 
In addition you can make your reactor bigger with [[Reactor Chamber]]s. You can have 6 additional [[Reactor Chamber]]s.


WARNING: REACTOR MAY EXPLODE!!!

The Nuclear Reactor is a known generator to produce EU.

With IndustrialCraft² the reactor system is fully recoded!

Instead of lame Uranium refining, you have to make a good setup for your reactor with all the reactor stuff you can find in the navigation.

But one thing wasn't completly changed: The nuclear melting.

In IC² the reactor can hold a value of heat, which get produced by producing energy with Uranium Cells. This heat can be reduced by stuff like Cooling Cells , Integrated Heat Dispensers and so on.

In addition you can make your reactor bigger with Reactor Chambers. You can have 6 additional Reactor Chambers.
