Detect state of nuclear reactor

[Dreossk]

Hello,

How can I detect if a nuclear reactor is on/off? I thought about detecting if power is going through the cable but then if all my batteries are full, no power will go through it even if it's on. What I want is just a light that indicates if the reactor is on or off.

On an unrelated note, what happens if the reactor is running and the batteries are full? The energy is lost?

Thanks!

A redstone signal turns the reactor off. Put a light block with a NOT gate input on the redstone line that controls your reactor.

Yes.

I looked at that mod, but unfortunately it started at 1.3, so it's incompatible

Luckily, it provided a link to another, Tekkit compatible mod:

http://forum.industrial-craft.net/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=4916

It's not as full of features as the one you suggested, but it'll work on a server etc., so it's good for Tekkit :D

Ah, i forgot that it wasn't for 1.1, good catch.
