The Nuclear Reactor processes Uraninite Crystal-based Reactor Rods into Energy for use by a Seabase. The reactor is constructed with the Habitat Builder, and can only be placed in the centre of a Multipurpose Room.

The Nuclear Reactor generates energy at a rate of 250 power units per minute (4.166667 per second) regardless of how many reactor rods are installed.  Each reactor can store a maximum of 2500 energy units.

The Reactor can hold a maximum of four reactor rods, which will become depleted reactor rods once fully consumed.

Recipe

Data Bank Entry

Renewable energy sources will usually be sufficient for maintaining a small outpost. For everything else there's nuclear power. Powered by up to four replaceable uranium reactor rods Do not attempt to replace reactor rods without a full radiation suit Do not attempt to overclock the reactor Nuclear is ideal for energy-intensive operations such as: Self-sufficient colonies supporting more than 20 people Industrial outposts operating multiple docks and heavy machinery Research stations housing live specimens
