Okay, so, thank you for the reply, I've done some further experimenting, and came to the conclusion, that the main problem now is a bit buggy.
I am now using BC pipes to move the distilled water around but whatever I connect to the steam generator, it just can't resist the urge to clog it up with steam. What I mean is, I have the two kinetic steam generators one after the other and then a condenser and from there a fluid pipe to the X block (I've tried pipes, fluid regulator, fluid distributor, can't think of anything else) but the steam generator just violently spews out all it's liquids wherever it can. Also, I always have it on at 1mb/tick and on one side of the reactor, there is 50mb of water constantly stuck in the 2nd kinetic steam generators, this also goes for the steam spewing problem. They only do it on one side. I also built another test reactor, and that one works, I figured it's because it is differently rotated. I'm guessing it has to do with how the game checks which "the first valid side" is. The easiest way to fix this would probably be to have a fluid ejector upgrade for steam generators.

Hello, I've been playing around with the new reactor too, but there are a few things that aren't clear to me. I come here in search of the internet's mighty wisdom, please o-mighty Internet, answer my questions.

First of all, I noticed that the reactor has to output spot on k*20 Hu/t, because each heat conductor adds 20 Hu/t exchanged, otherwise the heat exchangers can't decide who gets what percentage of heat available and the a part of the steam generators end up flickering between superheated steam and normal steam. Is there a way around this?

Another problem is that if you use heat exchangers, your reactor's heat output will fluctuate and the same thing as described above could happen, unless maybe if you'd preheat some coolant, but that's not reliable and normally the heat output doesn't only fluctuate, but also rises slowly over time. Halp?

And finally, last week, I blew up my reactor. Thankfully, I made a backup before that happened.
It was a wonderful day, the sun was shining and I was at home, setting up my new nuclear reactor. As soon as I finished, I switched it on, tracked it's progress for a bit, and then went afk for a bit. In about 15 minutes, I noticed my reinforced reactor room had been cleaned out. Somebody robbed me and took my nuclear reactor! Oh.. wait.. no.. after further inspection, I found out that steam and superheated steam clogged up my fluid regulator and all the distilled water built up in one of them and an x amount of steam generators failed, ultimately overheating the reactor and cleaning out the room.
So... is there another way? I tried using buildcraft's pipes but they don't seem to work well, especially with the steam generator, making him leak al his distilled water everywhere. Not to mention I can't use diamond pipes to separate steam from distilled water.

Oh, and that's another thing! Sometimes the kinetic steam generators output distilled water instead of steam, which is why I have them hooked up to the fluid regulators as well as the condenser which is the reason they clogged the regulators. It seems sometimes they output steam and superheated steam to the next generator/condenser and sometimes to the regulator.

So, I think that's all I have to say.
Also, here's my setup:
