			The checklist before launching this reactor would be too long. One is suggested to launch it on the low HU yield and see if everything works as intended before ramping up the power.

	The resulting output of this 1408 HU/t fluid reactor is is approximately 1020 EU/t. The current best Mark I nuclear reactor yields 420 EU/t.		The resulting output of this 1408 HU/t fluid reactor is is approximately 1020 EU/t. The current best Mark I nuclear reactor yields 420 EU/t.

	Out of all the ways to generate power, superheated steam is the best; with the correct setup, it can produce significantly more power than a standard EU reactor!		Out of all the ways to generate power, superheated steam is the best; with the correct setup, it can produce significantly more power than a standard EU reactor!

			== Example ==
			Let's figure out how the following [[Nuclear_Reactor#Mark_level\|Mark I]] fluid reactor works:

			[[File:Working-fluid-reactor-overview.png\|500px\|An example of a working fluid reactor]]
			[[File:Working-fluid-reactor-internal-layout.png\|500px\|Internal layout]]

			The block on the fluid reactor itself are decorative from the Chilsels mod.

			We can calculate that reactor gives 1408 Heat Units per tick as it gives 28160 Heat Units per second, and there are [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Tick#Game_tick 20] ticks in one second.

			The most effective way to use heat is to convert it to Superheated Steam and use it on turbines.

			In order to use up all heat, we need 15 [[Liquid Heat Exchanger\|Liquid Heat Exchangers]] because each of them can take at most 100 HU/tick.

			There are three Liquid Heat Exchangers per each [[Steam Generator]]. Steam Generators are set to 221 Bar and 10 mB(milliBucket)/tick. 221 Bar is the minimum for Superheated Steam, and 10 mB/t can handle 300 HU/t. Steam generators work on Distilled Water to prevent calcification.

			1 mB of Coolant handles 1 HU, so the Coolant flow is 1408 mB/t. One [[Reactor Fluid Port]] can handle 1000 mB/t, so there are two input and output ports.

			There are two rows of [[Fluid Distributor \| Fluid Distributors]] - one for hot and one for cold Coolant. They are separated by one block vertically in order to not blow up the reactor by mixing and blocking the flow.

			[[File:Working-fluid-reactor-fluid-distributors-layout.png\|500px\|Fluid distributors layout]]

			The main bus for the hot coolant is mostly comprised of Fluid Distributors set for distribution to negate the lack of balancing. Essentially, the whole hot bus is constantly filled with hot coolant because balancing it between five Boilers would be a nightmare.

			[[File:Working-fluid-reactor-heat-eu-conversion.png\|500px\|HU-to-EU conversion]]

			The HU-to-EU conversion is done by the five units by the following cycle:
			# Three [[Liquid Heat Exchanger\|Liquid Heat Exchangers]] provide 300 HU/t to one [[Steam Generator]].
			# Steam Generator is set up to create Superheated Steam at 221 Bar and 10 mB/t.
			# Superheated Steam goes to the right, to the first [[Kinetic Steam Generator]], which turns the Superheated Steam into just Steam and passes it to the second Kinetic Steam Generator.
			# The second Kinetic Steam Generator condenses a bit of [[Distilled Water]], passing it to the [[Fluid Distributor]] on the left, and passes the cold Steam to condenser.
			# Condenser turns cold Steam back into Distilled Water, passing it to another Fluid Distributor to its left.
			# Both Fluid Distributors carry Distilled Water back to the Steam Generator.
			# The Kinetic Units that were created by [[Kinetic Steam Generator\|Kinetic Steam Generators]] are turned into EU by [[Kinetic Generator\|Kinetic Generators]].

			The resulting output of this 1408 HU/t fluid reactor is is approximately 1020 EU/t. The current best Mark I nuclear reactor yields 420 EU/t.

			Considering the time it takes to build the fluid reactor without it blowing up, it better to build the usual reactors if you aim for the increase of EU per your building time.
