I make some tests in Nether with full-loaded of uranium cells in 6 chamber reactor and i was scared it blast power - reactor destroyed its "cage". Ive set up a reactor, its 6 chambers, redstone wires to turn it on; layer of water around whole reactor, 2 layers of obsidian - everything dissapeard, leaving huge hole. My safe test building suffer this explosion too, but fortunately it survives. So how many blast power have full-loaded reactors of evry shape and size? And how much layers of water/brick/obsidian/whatever stops possibly explosion?
Explosive power of overheated reactor

three layer of reinforced stone. obsidia was nerfed so it is weaker than reinforced stone.
-
More uran = Bigger boom.

The ultimate nuke grief:
step 1: make a 6 chamber reactor
step 2: Use redstone to prevent it blowing up prematurely.
step 3: fill it up completely with uranium
step 4: Remove redstone torch and run for your live (obsidian bunker wont safe you) -
Or, just use the uran to craft nukes. I believe that would give more boom for your buck
-
yea. 9 nukes are much more powerfull than full reactor.
-
Nah but 1 full reactor is only 1 block (or 7 with chamber but still all power in 1 explosion) with a epic explosion that destroys any block but bedrock. More compactness
I dont think nuke goes through obsidian.
-
10 without cores 3 per core up to 45 is's about 25% more destructive then nuke (nuke is 35)
need 12 cores for full power - 3*4 setup will max explosion, this basically dont need any chambers. -
Ive perform this test in Nether - i dont want holes in surface - 3 explosions of 6-chamber reactor in the same point make huge hole straigh to bedrock. Hope layer of water and 3 layers of reinforced stone dont blow up my small nuclear station.

Remember that netherrack has crappy explosion resistance. Like dirt, or maybe less? Dunno
-
yeah Dirt > Netherack in explosion resistance if 8 dirt gets blown then 10 netherack will get blown
(no Rule #34 please) -
i think this http://forum.industrial-craft.…page=Thread&threadID=1907 is better than any reinforced stone chambers.

I must agree, idea from your link is good, but what if my reactor is surrounded by water from begining? This emergency shutdown will not work i afraid.
