Hello. I apologize if there is already a topic addressing this question, I went back a few pages and skimmed to see if any topics concerning cooling answered my question, but, not one that I felt answered my question specifically enough.
So I read that the reactor fluid port puts coolant in and takes hot coolant out. But, I'm not understanding how.
- How is the coolant put into the reactor?
I have coolant cells inside my reactor, and a thermal expansion fluiduct pumping coolant to the reactor coolant port. This does not seem to refill the coolant cell. (its a 10k cell btw, I'm just experimenting). I tried putting coolant in a bucket, lol, that doesn't work. I cant seem to figure out how to put coolant in a reactor through this port...
can I pump the liquid straight into the reactor? or no? I know what Im doing with all other mods and Im certain theres nothing wrong on those ends. Its simply figuring out how to put coolant in.
perhaps I'm thinking this is more useful than it actually is, and its just a port for taking in cells and not liquid 
Also a side question- Why are there 4 sqaure spaces outside the normal 9x6 square grid in a nuclear reactor? they seem odd (im on an experimental version btw), and I was just wondering if perhaps they served any purpose, or are simply a bug.
ok So A quick update. I have discovered that reactors have fluid tanks inside them. At this point I should clarify that Im using an experimental version. See when I open the reactor gui, this is what I see http://imgur.com/N9wdiwl.
Then after a bit of digging I found that this is probably what I should be seeing http://prntscr.com/4pu6x2
Could anyone explain why Im seeing something different? Like did experimental break reactor fluids? Or do I need gregtech to use this option?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

), I have a pressure hatch, a redstone port, and 2 reactor fluid ports. I know there is a page talking about 5x5, but really its a bunch of people talking about all the other new things in it 
, so Im wondering if someone could show me their reactor 5x5 setup correctly (aka has fluid tanks), Like perhaps Im suppose to have the different things on certain sides. Also How do I draw EU from my reactor in a 5x5 shell? None of the wires seem to connect to any of the shell parts..
