NOTE: It wasn't until after posting this (Murphy's law) that I noticed some glaring issues with the design. Those will be fixed shortly. I have fixed the flaws
Design Brief:
After playing around with reactors for a bit, I've come up with a Mark-I reactor that I'm reasonably happy with. This core design requires all six reactor chambers to be attached, and needs a full water sheath around the central core to avoid an overheat. Other than that, this unit has a decent output at 60EU/t, though at an unfortunately low efficiency rating of 1.5. In the event that you do not need 60 EU/t or wish to achieve a higher efficiency rating you could easily remove some of the single rods and their surrounding coolant cells, this will also reduce construction and operation costs.
Reactor Design:
Breeder Capabilities:
This reactor can be configured to support low-efficiency negative breeding by swapping the central uranium rod for the isotope to enrich. Replacement of cooling cells with water buckets and/or removal of some cells is recommended for faster breeding.
Required Construction Materials:
1 Nuclear Reactor
6 Reactor Chambers
35 Coolant Cells
11 Integrated Heat Dispersers
Required Operation Materials, per cycle:
8 Uranium Cells
