Compared to solar cells a nuclear reactor is surprisingly fast to build. But the approach is different from solar cells: instead of making 512 solar cells you need to juggle a good number of components and machines. Glass fibre can hold the output of 3x4 cells (500 EU). A small reactor with 3x4 cells will output 100 million EU over the lifespan of the uranium cells. That's the equivalent of 5,000 lava scoops. A 3x4 setup in a small reactor eats 4 ice cubes per second.

1 MSF (tier 3 battery). This is the most expensive machine in this setup.

1 HV transformer

1 MV transformer

1 Filter

1 Large box of ice cubes

1 Thermal sensor

1 bare Nuclear reactor

12 uranium cells
