Well it will work but it's inefficient and wasteful... You should never put uranium cells on the edge of the reactor. They end up generating more heat that way for no benefit. My Mark 2 reactor only has 14 heat dispersers in it, you definitely don't need 18 of them.

This design has the same power output but uses less components: http://www.talonfiremage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/reactorplanner.html?hixmyxaaymlkz4lwkeazaekgwik2qwwrwj077tw7rl3zmy51c

Here's another design that only requires 5 chambers and is more efficient than yours for the same power output. You can make it 6 chambers and get rid of one cooling cell too if you want.

I figured that even my first reactor should have 2.0 efficiency. This is what I built for my first reactor:

It's extremely simple to set up, uses very few components, and it has 2.0 efficiency. That's better than any of the designs shown so far!

2.0 efficiency is pretty good for a design that doesn't need to be auto-filled with ice. This design only handles 2 uranium cells at a time, but it's so cheap, you can build a bunch of these little reactors for the cost of 1 or 2 big ones. I highly recommend it. I have seen Mark I-0 reactors with efficiency as high as 2.5 without ice, but they're considerably more costly.

Of course, you didn't define "good". If you have an unlimited supply of uranium, then you may not care too much about efficiency. But UU matter cannot be made into uranium, and EE condensers cannot create uranium, so it's always a scarce material. Assuming that you don't have a chest full of uranium, your design is pretty bad.

Here's a perfectly automated, nearly 100% efficient nuclear power generator, with 1800 eu/t that I made. It has a very efficient cooling system and is a Mark 1-1 SUC, I believe. I will be putting this into my survival world soon. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ka7ceyu26emeyg1

Just put the file in the zip in your save folder. The output is the mass fabricator.

Sorry, but could you recreate it in the nuclear reactor planner and send me the link? I don't like downloading stuff from people i don't know.
