Hard to give exact amount, because I'm using the mobile planner at the moment.

1376 heat.
Finally got this into the Exp planner v2, it dies after 18,285 seconds. That's 5 hours. Is that adequate to be considered a "safe" or "full run" reactor, or is this inadequate?
I'm looking for "the hottest reactor that can be made" , and this is the hottest I know of.
EDIT: The hottest SAFE reactor not needing external cooling or condensators.

Have a look at https://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?titl…ctor#Mark_level
It sounds like you made a Mark III reactor.

According to the same page, 10% of a cycle is 16 min 40 sec. That would mean a full cycle from full rods to depleted is 10,000 seconds. This reactor "dies" at over 18,000 seconds, so I think it would be a Mk II.
If someone can squeeze just a HAIR more cooling into it, I think it would be a Mk I / completely safe.

The cycle time part is a little out of date - that now varies depending on what rod types you have in the reactor - MOX rods last 10,000 seconds, Uranium rods last 20,000 seconds, and iirc Thorium rods (GregTech) last 50,000 seconds.
QuoteA Mark II must complete at least one full cycle before encountering heat problems.
Based on that, I have to disagree with your assessment of it being a Mk II.

Ok, agreed. If Uranium is 20,000 seconds, it is a Mk II. I wish I could find some additional cooling, It has to be really close if it's running for 18,000 seconds.

Wait... This is a Mark III MOX reactor! Pretty cool (warm?) for that.
Also, I found you don't need QUITE so many advanced exchangers. I swapped out the two corner ones for standard.
