What is this topic?:
Listing the best reactor designs sorted by mark intended for ppl who want to make their reactor but are wondering about the design. They can look here and see all good designs in 1 topic. All credits go to the one who created the reactor design. Post your reactor in this topic and if its good enough i will ad it to the list. This is not a topic to teach you how reactors work. See this topic for some info about the components: Component summary
Rules:
-No useless eff 1, low eu/cost etc. I want this list to contain high quality reactors that have been properly designed.
-No mods other than IC2. Reactors that use redpower 2 or buildcraft or any other mod are not allowed.
-Eu/tick is measured as average eu/tick
-Obsolete reactors will be removed (a reactor will be considered obsolete when another reactor does exactly the same but better like with lower cost)
-Credits go to the first person that post in this topic. Iam not gonna check the whole forum if you see someone taking credit for your design pm me and show me the evidence. Improving a reactor means credits go the the person that improved it.
-Breeders have to manage their heat automatically. That means no babysitting. Use heating cells to achieve this.
Terminology:
Reactor ticks = 1 reactor tick is 1 second.
Cycle = 10000 reactor ticks. Uranium cells last for 10000 ticks.
Efficiency = amount of average ticks per uranium cell for each reactor tick.

These reactors are focused on making as much eu that is possible at the highest efficiency.

Hybrid reactors:
These reactors combine normal reactors with breeders. Usually has lower output and efficiency than normal reactors and breed less cells than breeders but they can do both at the same time.
Reactor 1:
- Link: Mark 1 breeder EA
- Cells charged per uranium cell: 0,25
- Eu/tick: 230
- Efficiency: 3,83
- Cost: Iron 261, Copper 685, Tin 75, Gold 84

Breeders:
These reactors are purely made to breed cells. They produce almost no eu but they will breed alot of cells.
Breeder 1:
- Link: Cheapbreeder
- Heating configuration (with timing): Autopilot
- Cells charged per uranium cell: 28
- Efficiency: 1
- Eu/tick: 5
- Cost: Iron 96, Copper 403, Tin 47, Gold 2
- Credits: stretchydeath
Breeder 2:
- Link: Efficient breeder
- Heating configuration (with timing): Autopilot
- Cells charged per uranium cell: 84
- Efficiency: 1
- Eu/tick: 5
- Cost: Iron 181, Copper 1196, Tin 93, Gold 2
