I made a high-EU gregtech reactor:

Is it practical?

Can't tell if trolling, but those reactors are horrendous and should never be put into operation.
Does the downloaded version of the reactor planner work for anyone? I try and use it and it doesn't even open up a window, but throws no errors. I am on 64 bit linux.
I believe the plutonium cells are not being changed and the thorium cells are having their life cut in half.
For my automation I am using part gregtech, part redpower, with a touch of Applied Energistics. I have (starting at the reactor) a gregtech advanced regulator, fed by a redpower regulator, fed with color coded (all reactors are the same color) pneumatic pipes from a sorting machine set to go off ever 40 seconds. The sorting machine is fed by an AE interface so all fuel is auto crafted as needed. Then I just plop an AE import bus on each reactor for the depleted cells. The AE portion could easily be made with RP, but I wanted to have as little lag as possible.
These are my Gregtech reactor setups.
This is what I call my perfect thorium breeder, I tried to get the absolute most out of a single breeder. I have a massive excess of thorium so I did not care if it was efficient per thorium cell, I just wanted the absolute fastest breeder I could manage. It is stable at temperature, requires no hazmat, I have it running 24/7 in my house, no issue at all. I have no idea about efficiency, but it spits out 2239.8 cells per run, which I absolutely love. If I breed the fuel for it(which I do), it only takes 3 uranium ingots to fuel this for 13 hours.

*edit*
Fiddling around a little more I pushed it to 2500+ cells per run, with 4 more thorium:

Second up is my power plants, for these I was concerned about ease of automation, creating a compact array of many reactors and size of the reactor as a whole, so I attempted to keep them in the 2-3 chamber area. They are both hybrids:
My 3 chamber 314 eu/t 4.44 eff:

My 2 chamber, 220 eu/t 4.83 eff:

I have my breeder above feeding 25 of my 2 chamber reactors with plenty of excess fuel left over.
Lemme know what you think, and I would appreciate any feedback on the designs.
I had someone pass me a plan for a thorium/plutonium reactor. It produces 216 EU/t. I plugged the specs/exact design into the planner. The planner told me it was a Mk1 breeder reactor producing 5 eu/t! I went ahead and made the reactor and it makes 216 EU/t, instead of the planner's 5. Here is the link to the design http://i.imgur.com/x3KlOKO.png this is the image he gave me to run off of. IDK how long that link will last. If you cannot see the image let me know and I will re post it. But as I said, what the reactor planner said would happen, and what actually happened are two completely different things.
