Here's a reactor design that uses three quad-uranium fuel rods to generate roughly 1120HU. A few things that make this a nice design for lazy people like me:

No iridium required, in fact it only uses three distinct components (although they are fairly high-tier)
Only one type of fuel rod, making automation easy (and decreasing the risk of a meltdown). My recommendation is a chest with fresh rods, and an enderIO conduit with filters set to only extract spent fuel, and only insert fresh rods.
Steam output lines up (almost) perfectly to two large HSS-E turbine pairs (HP/regular), which will generate roughly 24,000 EU/t (3a EV) while running
Flexible - two variants are shown below.

This design also has two variants to note:
First, this variant generates 1310 HU. The trade-off is on fuel efficiency - it requires a fourth quad-rod but only gets 190 HU from it. If you're not short on Uranium, it's probably worth it.

Next, this variant can be used for breeding. Replace the reactor plating with your breeding material of choice. No clue how you would automate this, so take this as your scalability warning. It'll tick the middle material for 8/s, and the bottom for 4/s.

Note that these two variants are mutually exclusive... if you add a fourth rod and try to breed byproducts at the same time, the reactor will melt down.

Or use the 7 quad rod eu reactor design for 1344HU, use throium rods in it since that doesnt affect the HU output and get lutentium in the process

The fluid nuke cult uses it

#

Thorium is easy from the nether and mars

#

Plus more benefit to doing it compared to uranium

Also, I know this isn't your intention, but it feels somewhat shitty to post a tip and have someone hop in and state that your tip is not only obsolete, but also that it's common knowledge that it's obsolete when both of those are, at best, very debatable

And?

#

So it's not common knowledge? And uranium comes before thorium for bees

#

so not superceded

Anyone whose spent any decent time on GTNH knows about the wiki

the wiki doesn't list it?

Its referenced daily on Discord lmao

am i getting trolled? lol

Im under caffienated for this

Not a lot of people are willing to go the route of bees for power. More so when ores are easily available. Fluid nukes in this pack are fairly common knowledge due to the work the fluid nuke cult has put into it. Granted @frank bridge has yet to add the nuke layout onto our wiki page. But I know myself for example gets pinged fairly regularly for questions and help with fluid nuke setups. Not trying to bash on your post but just providing a design that will give you more power. I apologise if it came across in any other way

Hihi i am semi retired so the reactor design might never be uploaded but the page on the wiki could always benefit from another alternate viewpoint, esp since i never delved into bees so idk how progression towards the holy nukes would occur if you were starting from the bee-ginning.

IIRC the layout for the 1160HU design is probably in my discord image upload history, so you could dig it out from there, but its essentially one of the IC2 reactor designs from the old IC2 forums
