Updated to alpha 10 for 1.6.2 for all your nuclear engineering pleasure.
This update also brings with it localization support for (what should be) everything.
The localizations are held in a separate mercurial repository here if people want to submit translations.
Also I will note that I have not yet solved the sound issue 
But items now have extended details on their tooltips (which are translatable):
By Random Heat, i mean't random small spikes of internal heat, and the Higher the internal temperature is the higher the Chance of a random heat tick, so you would need to get rid of that extra heat fast. Is kinda realistic (Stray Neutrons making a small chain reaction?) and would give good use to Nuclear control's stuff, so the reactor doesn't go Too crazy ^^, Of course, it would need a config as not to anger people though.

That's an interesting idea and I think it could be done relatively easily, one qestion: should the extra heat ticks also generate extra EU? I'm thinking bonus packets might be interesting if not totally unbalanced.

I think perhaps the higher the temperature the Less efficient, but the higher the EU/t (not total EU though) So a max heat Single uranium cell reactor might make like 50eu/t but only lasts for 10 seconds.

I think too. Not for Nuclear Control though. I like reactor you have to babysit

Should we be scared that this trail is leading us straight toward real-world nuclear physics? As the temperature goes up, we have to account for relativistic vs thermal neutrons and that causes the reaction rates to change..... Unfortunately, my physics degree didn't get too deep into nuclear physics 
so more research may be required.
I'm still going to try and figure out how best to work this in. I am a little concerned about reactors causing small bursts that ups the output from LV->MV etc for even just one tick and frying the cable/transformer its connected to.

Even though the math is not exact, bonus points 
for conservation of mass/energy!

Just make those small bursts increase the amount of packets output instead of total output.
For example, a reactor produces 120 EU packets normally. It has a burst and produces 2 packets of 120 EU for some ticks. [240 EU/t], then it goes back to normal.

Yep, I didn't think I could do that, but then I looked at how transformers work and now I see just how easy that would be to split it into packets.
It does give me an idea for an "ultra-hardcore" mode where its just one packet and the voltage spikes meaning you need even more safety features, or would that be evil?

Just give a warning on update (in-game message if possible).
It would be fun, and still allows us to run reactors normally by placing 2 or more HV transformers directly adjacent.
Or use GT machinebox/charger that can accept up to 8192 EU, given transformer upgrades.
There is a little problem regarding the ChargePads Mod. To craft the second best Charge Pad you need a IC² Nuclear Reactor. When you enable it, it would disturb the balance of Advanced Reactors.
Is this for IC2 experimental?
Yeah, anyone who doesn't use experiment is because they don't like the duct tape e-net.
I for one move to IC2 experimental testing it and enjoying it to play with it also 
Added the latest version for IC² 1.118.401. The experimental is still on the way.

I've also added a beta ItemAPI so my blocks/items can be accessed from outside, after lots of trying to sort out the ChargePad compatibility problem, this is the only thing I can do (without causing serious problems in the future). I can only hope that ChargePads uses this to fix the recipe.
Why not offer your help to official IC2 devs to beat the experimental branch reactors into working order? Perhaps even integrate some of your own mod features into it.

The thought has crossed my mind to try and get integrated into core, but I had not considered offering to help with IC2. I dont' know if I have much to offer other than my reactors - but an interesting idea.
