A list of good reactor designs (IC² v1.103 and earlier)

I can up with this for the four breeder units I am building:

http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…g6r5spx6roaclrw8yiiadw0lc Stable.

What I do remember is that it is a Mk I and you will need a bucket to place the water on the outside.

Unfortunately, that is all I noted down and currently the site is down for some reason. I will try again later and update this, provided no else does and I remember that I made this post, most likely after I get all four units running since I am fairly close to finishing (a few days if everything goes smoothly), but it could very well be updated before then.

I also searched for it on the forum to see if someone else made one of these units before, but it did not come up, so unless it was deleted from the list, this is a new design.

By the way, the four planned breeders have names: Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV. So if one had to give this design a name and assuming it has not been made before, it would be "Quadrant."

One of my many attempts at making a breeder, but I think this design is pretty good. Unlike most breeders, this one generates a fair bit of power too.

Cost: 6 reactor chambers, 24 cooling cells, 22 heat dispensers, 6 urnium cells, 2 isotope cells
Efficiency: 1.67 of 2.33
Active EU/t: 100
Effective Eu/t: 57.2

Breeder efficiency: 8
Active EU/t 20
Iron: 217
Copper: 292
Tin: 145
Uranium: 3 for full load (one for isotope cells, two for fuel cells), 2 if you are stingy and have a massive amount of lava to get rid of as it becomes negative in nature when operated in this manner.
Water buckets for external cooling: 14

Additional note: May make this design obsolete as it uses one less tin: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…40op7g9dvj9s7vacu7cohvif4

probbaly just the placement of the isotope cells.

It is just there to add energy to the system. Speaking of energy, it will hold a specific level of heat with trace excess (<100 heat cold start added over a full cycle) during operation, so one can stick it at the level of heat one is most comfortable and it will remain well behaved for the entire cycle. Except if one goes nuts with the heating.

You're wasting almost as much uranium as that thing breeds and it takes 2,5h to run that so the profit is minimal. Even something I designed in a minute is much better.

Second design: are you wasting that stuff on purpose? If it's for power generation you're free to surround the reactor with water. These designs suck but they're just for demonstration.Higher average EU/t with less uranium cells, higher efficiency and it's cheaper:

DON'T PUT SINGLE URANIUM CELLS.

Don't you all think, that the best NON-CASUC's are already posted? We are actually getting pretty large amounts of Mark-I-Designs, which are very bad.

Naaah, we just have to keep trying.

Mark II-5 Reactor
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…pynwflp2gxwnyysd4l215rv9c

Total EU: 24.000.000 EU
Output: 120 EU/t
Effectivity: 2 of 2

Its pretty expensive but wont explode on you IF you stick to the 5 cycles. Go beyond that and it will (6th continued cycle its a Mark III and will blow up after approx 80mins). Allow it to cool down a little (5mins) between cycles and its 100% stable. Plug the Uranium cells in and forget about it

Cost:
Copper =377
Tin =155
Iron =129
Bronze =229
Cobblestone =8
Rubber =169
Redstone =170
Glowstone Dust =56
Lapis Lazuli =56
Refined uranium (pr cycle) =6

>>>READ THE RULES AND THE LIST FIRST BEFORE POSTING ANY DESIGNS!!!<<<

You did not.

Don't worry, it's completely safe. Also it's one very bad design. Don't post bad designs to the list of good designs.

There you have one good NON CASUC design.

Leaves Reactor 5 obsolete.

Haha, good one.
Seriously now: Efficiency 1 = BAD.

Quote from Rick

Starting to realise you simply cant prevent ppl from posting every single design they come up with even if its crap.

Link to the reactor thats in the list and thats way better than yours:
http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…=1k10101011111521s1r11r10

Cheaper
Higher average output
More cycles
aka better in every way

Nuff said

so why even let them post? why not lock the thread and edit the OP as/if you find new good designs in the nuclear engineering forum?
