I have seen some designs on here for Thorium/Plutonium hybrid reactors. Fuelling on these is often done by an attached GT-AdvanceRegulator as this seems to be the only block capable of placing the different fuels in the right places in the reactors. I have replicated this fueling design in my world reactor setup but I have a issue......
When the reactor fuel is swapped out the advanced regulator explodes. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
The advanced regulator does not accept power from the front, i.e. its output face. Thus it is safe to attach it to the side of a reactor, which outputs power itself.
However, you have placed the advanced regulator in such a way that its upper side facing is flush with the reactor chamber above. Therefore, as soon as the regulator does something, uses energy and requests new energy, the nuclear reactor will attempt to fill that energy request. Since the regulator can only accept up to 32 EU/p, it explodes because your reactor is likely attempting to cram several hundred EU into it at once.
The Advanced Regulator accepts 128 EU/p. But if you are paranoid, then you can attach one or two Transformer Upgrades.
Really? Then the NEI tooltip in my 1.4.7 testbed was wrong. Haven't looked at regulators with 1.5.1 yet.
It was one of the more recent changes, somewhen in 2.90
