I was messing with Ic2 reactor planer and came up with this so I tested it it lasted for 9:31s.
I was wondering if we could make it better without taking out the uranium cells.
Im new with Ic2.
I do know that a Mark 5 is not supposed to be used its more of a joke but i dont care im still going to try and use it lol
Mark 5 Reactor

From the list of good reactor designs.

Shorter run time than yours, but higher effective output (that is, average output over hot and cooldown periods) as well as higher efficiency and higher total EU/t. Your design has a mere 2.83 efficiency, and it's possible to get 2.6 with a Mark II design.

im not doing that but if i was doing something like that i would do this

I actually built this Mark-II reactor in about 10 minutes and it works much better than yours does.

Way cheaper and as effective, removed a chamber and got rid of the reactor platings. There is simply no reason to use IRP's on reactors like these, as they don't cool well and cost quite a bit. Try using less IHD's next time.

Back to the original post, Mark V are considered a joke because of their extremely short run times in comparison to their cool down periods.
I consider Mark V designs that melt parts to be sissies. If it takes the time to melt a part before going critical, it doesn't deserve the classification. Also, the only thing that higher class reactors can do better than lower is efficiency (more total power per fuel consumed). Therefore, I will restate your goals thusly:
Make it better without taking out the uranium cells.
Make it last longer.
Make sure the hull explodes before any parts have a chance to melt.More effective Eu/t for more power in the same timespan.
More fuel efficiency, because 340k power more per fuel is worth waiting an extra 13 hours for!So, this gem is created:
Mark V
Efficiency: 4.17
Effective Eu/t:52.08 @5sec on &91sec offIf you want better effective output, both Draco and Ragan's suggestions are superior, but looking at a mark V suggests you don't care about output.
