[Suggestion] Nuclear power #73

There already is uranium in Immersive engineering, but it's not used for anything. So why not add a nuclear reactor. (actually more like a nuclear boiler)

The simplest solution would be a boiler that takes fuel rods and water and makes steam. Depending on how complicated you want to make it you can add other things (maybe something like a IC2 reactor)

The Uranium needs to be refined and you could roughly emulate the real life process. Crush it into dust(crusher), mix it with some kind of acid(mixer) and then pump it into a enriching machine (new multiblock) before putting it all in the fuel rods.

All of that are suggestions and I hope they'll give you some ideas :P

Thanks for the suggestion!!! However, I know that blu is already working at this for 1.13 version of ie

Oh? he is? Well, I still think it would work amazing with your already implemented steam turbine. :P

Currently been using the Extreme Reactors mod in conjunction with Immersive Tech and the turbines to great effect! I have a singe reactor outputting more steam than I can actually use, and I've got 5 turbines all hooked up to an array of tanks for excess steam storage so it doesn't need to be constantly active.

Honestly, If Immersive Engineering is actually going to be getting reactors in the future, we might be able to power entire cities with our power plants because these turbines put out INSANE levels of power when used properly, and I LOVE it!

I love overpowered tech. With mekanism you can create a steam loop. Make an electrical heater that heats water and produces steam. then use it in the turbine to make power. feed the power back into the heater. You get quite a big ammount of extra energy out of it :P
