''Nuclear Reactors''
 
These most advanced pieces of technology can produce enough energy to supply entire towns. Or a few [[RE Battery]]s. Your choice.
 
To build one, you of course need advanced materials, so we rather recommend you to BUY it, seriously, it's much cheaper then self-crafting!
 
Only 4.99$, if you pay the shipping costs of roughly '''5 billion $'''!
 
How to use this extremely cheap device? Now, it even has TWO functions!
 
First of all, you can drop freshly harvested [[Uranium]] into it. This will result the machine to partially draw energy from the [[Uranium]], whilst refining it to extremely useful [[Uranium Ingot]]s.
 
This means, the ''Nuclear Reactor'' will work '''WITHOUT any fuel source''', isn't that great, HAYO!
 
Second, you can use Uranium Fuel Rods as fuel source to charge [[RE Battery]]s.
 
In fact, a single Uranium rod will already give enough energy for an amazing 3 to 4 [[RE Battery]]s. '''THAT'S THE POWA!'''
 
If you put those Uranium Fuel Rods as a fuel into Nuclear Reactor it will generate amazing 20 Eu/s and  '''THAT's THE POWA'''
 
 
<small>Please take note, that the usage of ''Nuclear Reactors'' can pose a serious thread of Nuclear Accidents to both, your health and your house. We are not responsible for any explosions caused by any of our devices, including the ''Nuclear Reactor''.
 
Fukushima showed us that reactor explosions are possibly related to a lack of cooling, we are not aware of whether an adequate amount of '''water surrounding the reactor''' will increase it's stability.</small>

Each ingot, when placed in the bottom slot of the ''Nuclear Reactor'', will generate 40000EU at a rate of 20EU per tick.

The Nuclear Reactor is an advanced machine capable of refining Uranium into Uranium Fuel Ingots, as well as using Uranium Fuel Ingots to generate energy.

The first application of a Nuclear Reactor is to refine Uranium into Uranium Fuel Ingots. Placing a piece of Uranium into the top slot of a Nuclear Reactor will refine the Uranium into four Uranium Fuel Ingots; this application of the Nuclear Reactor doesn't require any additional fuel.

The second use of a Nuclear Reactor is to generate energy with Uranium Fuel Ingots. Each ingot, when placed in the bottom slot of the Nuclear Reactor, will generate 40000EU at a rate of 20EU per tick. This energy can be used to charge RE Batteries, or the reactor can be connected to cables to power machines directly.

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.
