I've seen a few threads asking about them, so here are all the answers to questions I have seen:
Q: At what rate do they harvest?
A: They harvest at a max rate of 13.
Q: What is the maintainence rate?
A: 30, so 720 a day.
Q: What do you need to survey for placement?
A: They harvest Radioactive Mineral, so place it in a high % of whichever RM is on your planet.
Q: Does it need any extra resource to run?
A: No, you just pay maintainence.
Q: How many lots do they take?
A: One.
Q: How much will I be able to power with one Fusion Generator?
A: I'm powering a Structure Factory, 1 Heavy Mineral Harvester, 4 Medium Harvesters, and will be putting up two more Heavy Harvesters soon. I can power them all with one Fusion Generator on a 68% spot.
Q: Are they really worth the resources spent?
A: If you plan on playing Galaxies for a decent amount of time, absolutely.
I think that covers it all. If you have any other questions, just ask.

Hot post, Ozil, thanks. One question, though - if the maintenance rate is 30, doesn't that come out to 1440 credits a day? AFAIK, maintenance rate is per half hour.

Joshie is correct about the maintainence. Whoops! Sorry about that 
. If there is interest, I'll post "EYEWTKA" series on the rest of the big Architectural stuff.

A successful fusion generator combine and placement on a 92% gets this post a celebratory bump.
