I built my first reactor today, it has 4 reactor chambers, and one uranium cell surrounded by 4 cooling cells. As an added precaution i've submurged it in the ocean. Seeing as i've done that, do i still need the cooling cells?

possibly no but scince you built them you might as well upgrade to this

the first design is safe very cheap twice as efficient and doesn't need extra chambersalso alblaka nerfed waters blast resistance (it is as resistant as cobblestone now) so i hope you were not hoping the water to cushion the blast in the event of a failure.

Each Uranium cell surrounded by it's own 4 Coolant cells is absolutely safe ad there is no way reactor can explode, even when it's placed in lava. You can place as many single uranium cells as you want there, like this: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.b…fzh4s2ox3cdgx4ocgrdncr22o
However, this type of reactor is extremely inefficient and far better safe designs are availible.
