I don't understand, 2,000eu/t+ is what you get from a reactor that uses EE2/RP2 ice cooling, beyond putting in new uranium cells and probably pulling out the ice the RP2 Filters it filled up with when the cycle ended you don't have to do anything, not a single cooling plate nor cell.You can use the nuclear reactor much more efficiently by having an MFSU's redstone behavior set to "emit when full", the redstone logic signal is sent back to the reactor turning it off and very little is wasted compared to just letting it run.

Here's the trick though, any power line can carry infinite EU so long as each "packet" of EU is within it's packet size capacity, BUT after you pull out the current from a nuclear reactor and step it through an HV transformer you need an MFSU for each 512eu/T you wish to transmit back onto a given line which in the case of an ice-cooled reactor doing 2k/t is 4 MFSUs. If you want to use it all at once, anyway, it's not that an MFSU won't store more than 512eu/t, it will, it's that it won't transmit more than that through it's output face at any one time. It's total transmission rate is the same as it's packet rate, only energy storage blocks behave this way. SO for the reactor - try to make the MFSU that charges up last/empties first the one which outputs the stop signal to the reactor, this will be the one which is electrically "furthest" from the source while the one which is "closest" charges up first and empties last.

But keep in mind that even with solar you need an MFSU for each HV solar panel if you want to use it's output all at once.
