Noobish Nuclear Query

I am planning on using this setup
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner…1f21s1r14lflr10

with external water cooling

Just need some clarification
do i need to switch it off for a cooldown period if so how often
Is there a simple circuit with redpower 2 to time activation of reactor
Whats the best way to shut down a reactor if it's water cooled. How do you get a redstone signal to the central core???
How long in real time will it run before needing a fuel changeover??

Thanks very much for the help

Reactors can be shutdown by suppling them with redstone current, suppling a reactor chamber with red stone current will have the same effect.

As for a RP2 timer, you could try this post.

A uranium fuel cells will last a total of 10,000 seconds of active use.

For the particular setup you're looking at using, it will last an entire cycle (up to 9 consecutively, without a cooldown period) without you needing to do anything, as it is well cooled; Just toss the fuel in and walk away!
