A fission addon for GregTech Modern focused on cool, adaptable features and heavy configurability. It can be used standalone, but it's primarily designed for pack developers who want to reshape reactor behavior, balance, and progression for their own packs.
There are 3 main reactor multiblocks:
Pressurized Fission Reactor
Uses Fission Coolers, Fission Moderators, and a Driver Fuel Rod to produce EU and waste.
Cooling is provided by all installed coolers (total HU/t).
Coolant consumption behavior is configurable:
Additive: every cooler adds to the coolant draw, or
Primary-only: only the "primary" (highest-tier / most dominant) cooler determines coolant use.
High Performance Breeder Reactor
Uses Fission Coolers, Fission Moderators, Blanket Rods (targets), and a Driver Fuel Rod to produce stronger fuels for future breeder cycles, plus some power.
Blanket processing supports fluid or item inputs/outputs (GT material IDs or Forge registry IDs).
Blanket usage behavior can be made configurable as well (additive blankets vs primary-only), matching the coolant model style.
Molten Salt Reactor
Uses MSR Liners and Fission Coolers to process molten salts.
Designed to process heavier fissile materials and slowly process them into safer more useful products.
Will accumulate Xenon Poisoning over time that you will need to extract from fluid hatches.
Has a different heat model focused around flow, not heat.
Custom UIs.
All 4 base machine classes have a custom UI for your viewing pleasure!

KubeJS Content Support
New Coolers, Moderators, Fuel Rods, and Blanket Rods can all be defined in KubeJS.
Key points:
Coolers now use pure Forge fluid registry IDs for coolant (example:
gtceu:distilled_water).Coolers may optionally define an output "hot" coolant (example: distilled water → steam).
- If the reactor can't output the hot variant, it can optionally void the output (pack-configurable behavior), so the reactor can still run without requiring an output hatch in every build.
Usage behavior (coolant / fuel / blanket) can be driven by config toggles (additive vs primary-only).
Below is an example of each type.
