    I know its not a true reactor, i wasnt trying to make a true one. i was trying to make one that looked good. for my next version of it though, it will be a lot more realistic and ill try to keep it looking the same.

    it indeed looked good

    and most peoples problem when making a realistic nuclear power plant is the condenser. well ive found that ive you "grid" DMND and put a 4pixel thick wall(so the 02 doesnt combust) and put 02 in a chamber on both sides of the steam chamber and then for the cooling tower you fill it about halfway with saltwater and cool it to 0 and put a 3 pixel thick line of dmnd to the chambers will solve your problem

    the condenser wont be a problem for me, there is a way to make a condenser without having to use any non destroyable elements. PTCT would work fine as a mesh condenser. and to keep it cool, just take water from the ocean and make it shower onto the PTCT. the excess water would go back into the ocean or body of water through a pipe.

    i do like it, the aesthetic look of the 6 reactor cores is quite nice too

    i tried to make it a little more realistic. Im working on the plumbing right now so version 3 wont be out for a while. once its done though, it should be working like a real one does.

    any suggestions on what reactor i should make next?
    im thinking about a thermite one

    thermite wouldnt be bad, a dust one isnt very common, i made one just today. small but effective.

    EDIT
    I just found out i accidentally kept the temp on the reactor regulated also. it doesnt go above 370 degrees. like i said accidentally. lol
