add pebble bed reactor #88

fluid input D. water or Coolent item input uranium or thorium rounds or add a pebble pebble = 1 nugget in size item output would be spent pellets, pellets that would then be centrifuged for thorium/uranium and lead/plutonium and small amounts of radon plutonium pellets would be more power but requires coolent only, spent pellets uranium no radon thorium would be long life but low power uranium would be average life and power Plutonium would be short life large power

My thoughts on something like this since it is an alternative to the IC2 nuclear reactor that requires sitting around a planner or looking through old forum posts for a stable reactor plan is that it is completely hands-off. It requires no planning at all. Simply feed it fuel and water/coolant and it makes power and gives you the output. Since this is also hands-off, you can't turn it off except by cutting off the fuel supply. It works similar to the magic energy converter that "burns" magic items. You get a fixed amount of power per tick until the stored energy in the item is depleted. The energy is either used, stored, or lost. I think that this is a fair trade-off for having a fairly simple nuclear reactor.
