The Fusion Reactors is a multiblock structure added by NuclearCraft.
Fusion Reactors
Fusion Reactor of Toroid Size 4
A fusion reactor consists of a hollow, square ‘ring’ of Fusion Electromagnets centered around a Fusion Core. Reactors of size greater than 1 will require four sets of Fusion Connectors that connect the core and toroid.
Fusion reactors require pre-heating by pumping in an enormous amount of energy (RF, etc.) The electromagnets that make up the ring also require a certain amount of power just to run. So you need to have a decent power infrastructure in place before you start on this project. Obviously, a NuclearCraft Fission Reactor is a great place to start!
The number of Fusion Electromagnets required is

This page refers to the small nuclear reactor, for the multiblock structure please go here
A small nuclear reactor. It has 12 slots for rods. Rods decay faster the more packed together they are, and the more heat they produce.
They are a great choice for a lower tier reactor due to the energy they produce but at some point normal nuclear reactors are just not enough.

Usage
Nuclear Reactor GUI.
Fill it with Coolant and Water, then put any Fuel Rods of your choosing into it and press the red button to raise the rods.
Clicking on the E-shaped button next to the heat and steam gauges will switch the steam’s compression.
It won’t generate power on its own, but instead, produce Steam that can be pumped into Steam Turbines that do.
To completely fill it with quad rods, you’d need 32 nuclear fuel ingots.

Danger
Make sure the reactor has a steady supply of coolant when active and water at the ready, otherwise it will overheat and violently explode in the meltdown. Coolant consumption depends on the strength of the fuel. The water cooled down by steam turbines may be pumped back inside, but it will eventually run out due to the reactor not converting at 100% efficiency. Using a remote reactor block and setting automatic shutdown to on will prevent meltdowns.
If the reactor runs out of Coolant, its core temperature will rise until it reaches its maximum capacity and melts down.
If the reactor runs out of water, its hull temperature will rise until it reaches its maximum capacity and subsequently causes the core to increase in temperature, making coolant ineffective, as it can no longer move heat to the hull. It will also meltdown if its core reaches its maximum temperature capacity.
Either of those scenarios can be caused by external modifier blocks, such as ones that have heat modifiers and the reactor itself is running high strength fuels also, such as Plutonium.
Pros and Cons
+ Starter for nuclear power.
+ Can take any type of fuel rod.
+ Can make infinite coolant.
+ Can take in infinite water just by having water blocks next to it.
! Niter blocks will supply the reactor with infinite coolant, but you cannot have concrete bricks blocking radiation.
— Produces radiation when active, levels varying depending on the type of fuel rods inside, requires concrete brick covering to prevent radiation from coming out.
— Will violently explode when experiencing a meltdown.
— Does not directly produce electricity.
— Spent rods have to manually be removed and the other rods have to be rearranged.
Notes
By placing Concrete blocks adjacent to the middle part (the rods), no radiation will leak out.
When submerged in water, the internal water buffer will fill up and will be full at all times until the water is removed, essentially cutting out water monitoring, but it forces the player to pump the used water somewhere else. The water will also block radiation.
By placing Niter Blocks on the sides of the reactor (rod area), water will be converted to coolant. This method does not work with the Big Nuclear Reactor.

Nuclear Reactor
The Nuclear Reactor is a generator that produces EU by slowly breaking down 
Uranium Cells. As cells decay inside the reactor, they produce heat. Heat may be removed by several different cooling methods. If cooling is insufficient, the reactor will gradually overheat and eventually explode.
Copper Cable is sufficient for basic reactors, but advanced reactors will require Gold or HV Cable.
Each Uranium Cell will last 1 reactor cycle (20,000 seconds,
5h 33min) inside the reactor, providing at least 5 EU/t power (at least 2 million EU per cell). A very efficient setup can give more than 32 million EU per uranium Cell.
You can enlarge the space of your reactor by placing up to 6 additional 
Reactor Chambers directly adjacent to the reactor.
As of Minecraft 1.3.2, IndustrialCraft 2 has had a second re-write of the Nuclear Reactor with additional components and removed environmental effects such as water and Ice cooling. For old mechanics and tips, see Old_Reactor_Mechanics_and_Components.

Basic Reactor Setup
The simplest reactor contains one Uranium Cell and one Heat Vent. Turned on and off with a lever switch. As of IC2: Experimental, any setup of this nature is referred to as «EU MODE» in the Reactor’s UI which also states that the output is being reduced by half. This is intentional, as there are now two operating modes for a reactor, the second «HEATING MODE» being dependent on surrounding the reactor proper with other certain blocks. Heating mode uses Reactor Pressure Vessels to heat Coolant into Hot Coolant, which can then be used to generate EU.»
If you apply a lever ON/OFF switch, this reactor will produce 5 EU/t. It will also generate 4 heat per second into the heat vent, and the heat vent will try to dissipate 6 units heat, only find 4, and dissipate that. Which brings us to a key concept in reactor design: heat.
Heat is generated every second by any uranium cell which is generating EU. It can either go into a component (such as the heat vent) or into the reactor vessel itself. If too much accumulates in a component, that component is destroyed. If too much accumulates in the reactor, the reactor will start doing Bad Things, such as poisoning players in the area, or exploding violently. Heat is bad. Fortunately, there are many tools to help you deal with heat.
Heat Manipulation Tools
Vents
These devices get rid of heat, releasing it to the outer air where it does no harm. They come in five varieties, each useful in different circumstances.
Heat Vent The basic vent dissipates 6 heat from itself every second. 
Reactor Heat Vent This vent moves 5 heat from the reactor vessel to itself and dissipates 5 heat every second. This has the advantage that it can function effectively anywhere in the reactor, not just next to the uranium cell. 
Advanced Heat Vent An improvement to a basic heat vent, this component dissipates 12 heat from itself. 
Component Heat Vent This vent dissipates 4 heat from each surrounding component. 
Overclocked Heat Vent This vent moves 36 heat from the reactor to itself and then dissipates 20 heat from itself. This will cause the component to overheat if steps are not taken to cool this component.
| name | heat dissipated | heat pulled from reactor | maximum accumulated heat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Vent | 6 | 0 | 1000 |
| Reactor Heat Vent | 5 | 5 | 1000 |
| Advanced Heat Vent | 12 | 0 | 1000 |
| Overclocked Heat Vent | 20 | 36 | 1000 |
| Component Heat Vent | 4* | 0 | 1000 |
Heat Exchangers
Another tool in your heat-control toolbox is heat exchangers, which do not dissipate heat, but instead move it around, hopefully to where it can be dissipated more easily. Heat exchangers work intelligently, seeking to make every component they interact be equally far from disintegration.
For instance, if a basic heat exchanger (which is destroyed at 2500 heat) was transferring heat from itself to the reactor (which usually is destroyed at 10 000 heat), and there was 1250 heat in between the two of them, would try to give the reactor 1000 heat (10% of the reactor’s capacity) and itself 250 heat (10% of its capacity).
There are four types.
Heat Exchanger These will first exchange up to 12 heat with each surrounding component, and then up to 4 with the reactor itself. 
Advanced Heat Exchanger These transfer up to 24 heat with each surrounding component, and then up to 8 with the reactor. 
Reactor Heat Exchanger These transfer up to 72 heat with the reactor, but will not move heat to or from nearby components. These will usually be at the same percent capacity as the reactor, so they are useful as a kind of thermometer for your reactor. 
Component Heat Exchanger These transfer up to 36 heat with each adjacent component, but does not transfer any with the reactor itself.
| name | transfer to adjacent | transfer to core | max heat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Exchanger | 12 | 4 | 2500 |
| Advanced Heat Exchanger | 24 | 8 | 10000 |
| Reactor Heat Exchanger | 0 | 72 | 5000 |
| Component Heat Exchanger | 36 | 0 | 5000 |
Cooling Cells and Condensators
Cooling Cells and Condensators have the capacity to absorb large amounts of heat. Condensators play the role of Single Use Coolant.
| name | heat dissipated before destruction |
|---|---|
| 10k Coolant Cell | 10 000 |
| 30k Coolant Cell | 30 000 |
| 60k Coolant Cell | 60 000 |
| RSH-Condensator | 20 000 |
| LZH-Condensator | 100 000 |
RSH-Condensator are recharged with redstone dust. Each redstone dust restores 10k of coolant potential. LZH-Condensators are recharged with either lapis lazuli, which restores 40k, or with redstone dust, which only restores 5k.
Efficiency
A single lone uranium cell will produce 5 EU/t, or a not-inconsiderable 1 million EU over its lifetime. But two cells next to each other will produce four times the power and energy. This is because of neutron pulses. Each second, each uranium cell sends a pulse to each adjacent component. A uranium pulse which receives a neutron pulse is made more efficient, and delivers an additional 5 EU/t.
For example if cell A and cell B are next to each other,
A will make 5 EU/t on its own, B will make 5 EU/t on its own. But A will make 5 EU/t more because it receives a pulse from B, and B will make 5 EU/t more because it receives a pulse from A, for a total of 20 EU/t. This does not reduce the 10 000 s operating lifetime of the cells, so you get twice the power and energy per uranium cell used.
The efficiency of a cell is how many times over it produces 5 EU/t. In the previous example, the efficiency of the cells was 2, because each cell produced 10 EU/t = 2 * 5 EU/t.
But this efficiency comes at a cost in heat. Uranium cells which produce more energy generate more heat. The heat to be generated is calculated by the following formula:
Here, n is the efficiency of the cell, not the efficiency of the reactor setup.
| efficiency | heat generated | heat/efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 4 |
| 2 | 12 | 6 |
| 3 | 24 | 8 |
| 4 | 40 | 10 |

One of the major problems of nuclear engineering is to balance efficiency against the problems the extra heat generates.
Dual and Quad Uranium Cells
Important tools to help make more efficient generators are the Dual Uranium Cell and the Quad Uranium Cell. A dual cell is a single component which functions like a pair of uranium cells next to each other. Alone it generates 20 EU/t, 24 heat, and sends two neutron pulses to each adjacent component. It efficiency is calculated as how many times each cell produces 5 EU/t, so a dual cell producing 20 EU/t has an efficiency of 2, and so produces 12 heat per cell, or 24 heat total. Every time a dual cell receives a neutron pulse it generates an additional 5 EU/t.
The Quad Uranium Cell is similar, but considered four uranium cells in a square, in one component. It thus generates 60 EU/t, and 96 heat if alone. These components allow efficiencies as high as 17, but normally won’t exceed 7.
Bug: In version 1.106, the dual/quad cells last 1/2 or 1/4 as long as they should (20 000 s).
Reflectors
Another important tool for increased efficiency is the Neutron Reflector and the Thick Neutron Reflector. Both of these reflect neutron pulses back to the uranium cell which produced them. This means that a single uranium cell surrounded by 4 neutron reflectors will receive 4 neutron pulses, and so have an efficiency of 5. Quad Uranium cells will output 80 EU/t instead of 60 EU/t. Dual Uranium cells will output 30 EU/t instead of 20 EU/t. One Uranium cell will output 10 EU/t instead of 5 EU/t.
A disadvantage of these reflectors is that they wear out over time. The neutron reflector can reflect 20 000 pulses (one complete cycle from one uranium cell). The thick neutron reflector is more durable, allowing it to reflect 120 000 pulses before failure.
EU Reactor
Nuclear Reactor works in this mode by default.
This type of reactor utilizes EU yield of Uranium Cells.
Heat yield of Uranium Cells considered as a side effect problem, which needs to be solved by cooling the reactor.
EU mode Reactor is much less efficient compared to Fluid mode Reactor unless 
Fuel Rod (MOX) combined with high core temperature is used.
However, one can use Coolant cells to store heats then transfer heated coolant cells into a fluid reactor to power steam turbines
Fluid Reactor
In order to build 
Fluid Reactor, you need to completely coat ordinary EU Reactor into a 5x5x5 hollow cube of lead blocks ( Reactor Pressure Vessel, 
Reactor Access Hatch, 
Reactor Fluid Port, 
Reactor Redstone Port)
This type of reactor utilizes HU (Heat) yield of Uranium Cells.
All heat is transferred to 
Hot Coolant, which is the only product of such a Reactor.
In order to be transferred to Hot Coolant, Heat must be dissipated from the reactor by cooling components, meaning that the cooling problem is identical as it is for EU mode Reactor.
EU yield of Uranium Cells is ignored completely. This means that using Fuel Rod (MOX) combined with high core temperature is completely useless.
EU is generated by utilizing heat from Hot Coolant outside the Reactor. It is up to you how to generate power from heat. For example, 
Steam Generator combined with 
Kinetic Steam Generator can be used.
The only way to extract HU (Heat) from Hot Coolant is by using 
Liquid Heat Exchanger. It accepts Hot Coolant, transfers heat to the machine it faces with heat side and returns coolant back as (cold) 
Coolant, which then must be returned back to the Reactor.
It is important to remember that Liquid Heat Exchanger will not work if the heat is not accepted from it by another machine (Steam Boiler, Stirling Generator, etc.)
Total dissipated heat from the Reactor is doubled. Then that doubled amount is transferred to Hot Coolant, 1 mB for each 20 HU.
For example, there is one Dual Uranium Cell in the Reactor with 2 adjacent 
Neutron Reflectors. This will generate 80 HU / tick. This amount then doubles and becomes 160 HU / tick. The
Reactor will produce 8 mB Hot Coolant / tick, which can be transferred back to 160 HU / tick using Liquid Heat Exchanger.
Each Liquid Heat Exchanger is limited to handle 100 HU / tick. (5 mB of Hot Coolant / tick) This is because it has 10 slots for 
Heat Conductor, which transfers 10 HU / tick each.
For this example, 2 Liquid Heat Exchangers are required to handle 160 HU / tick. One with 10 Heat Conductors and one with 6 Heat Conductors.
Safeguarding your reactor
Even a safe reactor design can be dangerous if misused, and honestly, what’s the fun of a safe design when a dangerous one can be so much more efficient? But no one wants to see their base reduced to slag. There are ways to protect yourself in the event of a meltdown.
Planner
Rather than testing all of your ideas out next to your vault of diamonds, try using the planner. It’s a Java application which allows you to test to see if a design will work before implementing it.
Dangers of reactor heat
As the reactor temperature rises, different bad things begin to happen. The exact heat effects for reactors are:
| % of max hull heat | Environmental effect |
|---|---|
| 40% | Flammable blocks within a 5x5x5 cube have a chance of burning. |
| 50% | Water blocks within a 5x5x5 cube (both sources and flowing) will have a chance of evaporating. |
| 70% | Entities within a 7x7x7 cube (instead of a 3x3x3 cube) will get hurt from the radiation exposure. |
| 85% | Blocks within a 5x5x5 cube have a chance of burning or turning into lava (‘moving’ lava only, no source blocks). |
| 100% | What environment? That hole in the ground? |
Blast shields
Other than placing your reactor far, far away, the simplest way to protect yourself is to construct a strong wall between your reactor and your base. This may mean encasing the whole reactor room, or just the side facing your stuff. In either case, a three meter thick wall of reinforced stone or glass will suffice to contain even the most devastating reactor meltdown.
Plating
Another way to protect yourself is to place reactor plating components into your reactor.
Reactor Plating This component will increase your reactors maximum temperature by 1000 and will reduce the reactor’s explosion range by 5%. 
Containment Reactor Plating This component will increase your reactors maximum temperature by 500 and will reduce the reactor’s explosion range by 10%. 
Heat-Capacity Reactor Plating This component will increase your reactor’s maximum temperature by 1700 but will only decrease the explosive range by 1%
| name | maximum reactor temperature | explosion range |
|---|---|---|
| Reactor Plating | +1000 | -5% |
| Containment Reactor Plating | +500 | -10% |
| Heat-Capacity Reactor Plating | +1700 | -1% |
Reactor Classification
All reactor designs fall into a set of pre-defined categories. This makes it easier to see, at a glance, how effective a design can be when either looking up designs on the IC forums or posting a design yourself.
Mark level
Reactors are classified first by how much they can operate. This is known as their mark.
Mark I
Mark I reactors generate no excess heat each reactor tick and thus are safe to use continuously for as long as you supply Uranium. Mark Is tend have a low efficiency, but that’s the price of a completely safe reactor.
Mark Is have two sub-classes: Mark I-I for design that do not rely in outside cooling in anyway and Mark I-O for those that do.
Mark II
Mark II designs produce a small amount of excess heat and will need to be given a cool down period eventually to prevent the hull reaching 85% maximum heat or melting component. A Mark II must complete at least one full cycle before encountering heat problems.
The sub-class for Mark IIs denote how many cycles the design can run before reaching critical heat levels. For example Mark II-3 will need a cool down period after running 3 cycles in a row. Mark II s that can run 16 times or more get the special sub-class ‘E’ (Mark II-E) for almost being a Mark I.
Mark III
Mark III reactors tend to have an emphasis on efficiency at the cost of safety. Mark IIIs are unable to complete a full cycle without going into meltdown and thus need to be shutdown mid-cycle in order to deal with the high amount of excess heat. This can be done manually or by using Redstone.
Mark IIIs have the additional condition that they must run at least 10% of a cycle (16 mins 40 secs) before reaching critical heat or losing any components.
Mark IV
Mark IVs still have to run at least 10% of a cycle, just like Mark IIIs. The difference being that Mark IVs are allowed to lose components to overheating, and that must be replaced before the reactor goes critical.
Mark V
Mark Vs are for those who want to squeeze every last scrap of EU from their uranium cells; they cannot run long without needing a cool down period. You’d better have great Redstone timer skills, or you’ll never be able to turn your back on these things.
Suffixes
The reactor’s mark leaves much unsaid. Specific properties of the reactor (such as single-use coolants which need to be replaced during operation) are described with suffixes
As well as being Mark I to V, reactor designs also have one or more suffixes to better inform people about their performance.
Efficiency
The efficiency of a reactor is also appended to its classification. To calculate efficiency, take the number of uranium pulses a design makes per tick and divide it by the number of uranium cells it possesses. Efficiencies of five or greater are not possible without neutron reflectors and/or dual or quad cells, which were introduced in 1.106.
The number provided will show the efficiency rating a design has:
