A '''neutron reflector''' is a [[nuclear reactor component]] that passively increases the efficiency (EU and heat output) of any adjacent [[fuel rod]](s).

There are three types of coolant cell, each used to craft the next. The {{Gin|Iridium Neutron Reflector}} can be crafted two ways (horizontal or vertical, as shown).

== Uses ==

Neutron reflectors are used to reflect neutron pulses, making adjacent [[fuel rod]]s more efficient. They ''do not'' provide any output on their own.

For example, take these two setups: '''[{{Gin|Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}{{Gin|Neutron Reflector|}}]''' vs. '''[{{Gin|Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}{{Gin|Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}]'''

In the first setup, the fuel rod produces the same output (10 EU/t, 12 heat) as each of the rods in the second - which combined would produce 20 EU/t and 24 heat, like a {{Gin|Dual Fuel Rod (Uranium)}} would in isolation. All three of the fuel rods above are receiving a neutron pulse; the first rod from itself via the reflector, the other two rods from each other.

Every reflected neutron pulse reduces a reflector's durability by 1. Dual and quad fuel rods (which give off multiple pulses) reduce durability by 2 or 4, accordingly.

* This reflector loses '''16 durability per reactor tick''':

:{|
| ||{{Gin|Quad Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}
|-
|{{Gin|Quad Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}||{{Gin|Thick Neutron Reflector|}}||{{Gin|Quad Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}
|-
| ||{{Gin|Quad Fuel Rod (Uranium)|}}
|}

The reflectors all operate the same as far as reflecting pulses; the difference lies in their durability.
* The {{Gin|Neutron Reflector}} has 30K durability, meaning it can sit next to a {{Gin|Fuel Rod (Uranium)}} for a reactor cycle and a half before disintegrating.
* The {{Gin|Thick Neutron Reflector}} has 120K durability, meaning it can sit next to a {{Gin|Quad Fuel Rod (Uranium)}} for a reactor cycle and a half before disintegrating.
* The {{Gin|Iridium Neutron Reflector}} has '''no''' durability; it takes no damage from reflecting neutron pulses, and so (barring a reactor mishap) will last indefinitely.
