Nuclear reactor underpowered?

    Solar panels are relatively cheap, and is easy to get lots of EU, with no messing about, and no management. A nuclear reactor with 6 chambers is expensive to make, expensive to fuel, and doesn't actually produce much energy, even though its source isn't renewable... Isn't this a bit silly? :s

    Well you can get about 2kk-3kk EU from one Uranium cell. If you have a good breeder you can also split each uranium ingot in 8 cells, resulting in 16-24kk per ingot. That is a hell lot. Also you can produce about 20-40EU/s with a safe reactor. To produce lets say 40EU/s with solar panels you need 40*6=240 Iron ingots, in fact the double amount, because solar panels only produce during the day. 40 Solar panels use a lot of space, while a reactor uses around 4x4x4.
    In my opinion the reactor is ok, not as awesome as it used to be in IC1, but if you are a clever constructor you can build a better reactor in IC2 that in IC1, just takes a bit more planing.
