I was curious what a thorium reactor that didn't spend copper on quad cells would look like, and came up with this:

And here's one that uses...
16 iridium reflectors...

I think it is better to use Iridium Neutron Reflectors scarcely seeing as they are really expensive. Maybe it is better to use them in high power output reactors. Maybe plutonium reactors like this Mark V. This one works best (as far as my calculation can predict) when you switch it on for 8 seconds and then let it cool for 10. This way the hull heat doesn't get so high it will hurt you and it will run 44.44% of the time and produce 248.9 EU/t effectively.
This Mark V runs for 43 seconds and then cools for 38, so it runs 53% of the time at 520 EU/t for an effective EU/t of 276 EU/t. In game experiments show it can be run at higher effective EU/t, but the math doesn't add up with one second less of cooling time, you can try it if you dare (in a test world please, but I think 37.95 will also work, maybe, I hope).
I posted a better single-cell Thorium design already, http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/v3/reactorplan…gl1p0zuf1gigo3k

hello my first (second total) post with a reactor, I'm using this breeder reactor in a server, but i first use plutonium instead of thorium to heat up the reactor, then i change to thorium.
About temp, usually you want to reach 11,800° but i've tryed up to 13,300 without exploding.
Also you can add some chambers and heat-capacity reactor platings if u want to work more fast
I'll attach some images so you can see it working
Hi, so I'm playing on a server, and I want UUM so I made a MatFab, and I decided I want a nuclear reactor to power it. So I came up with this design, which I believe is pretty good, uses 3 chambers and with an efficiency of 4.46. Takes about 6 stacks of copper to create all the components and 2.5 stacks for the fuel.
I'm somewhat of a noob, so don't hate please. Also, sorry if this design or similiar has already been featured on the thread, I haven't read all of it.
Well, you could also use this.
Thank you 
Both of the designs have identical running costs and efficiency, only yours has less component cost.
Also, does anyone has a good, efficient design for running a MatFab, which doesn't use any Iridium NRs? I'm not really satisfied with the 80 EU/t my reactor generates, since each piece of UUM takes about 3 hours to make.
The opening post has a 112 EU/t thorium design in it which I improved.

Accepted. Good Design as always. Sadly as soon as 1.5 happens, all Thorium/Plutonium Reactors will be obsolete, as I will switch to another System regarding produced EU (to remove the hack into the IC²-Config). Also I will then nerf Thorium by 50%, and make it less useful for Breeders (as that change reduces Pulse Count). Plutonium however, will be twice as good for Breeders after that change.
