After experimenting around with the several different reactors I need to point out that the higher-level reactors is way under efficient. In nuclear reactions as mass increases so does power output by a fixed linear curve. If you double the Uranium 238 in a nuclear reactor you will receive 97.137 energy. Using this equation then this is how the reactors should pain out in JTL:

IF A LVL 1 Max power output 1100

Then A LVL 2 Max power output2168.507

A LVL 3 Max power output 4274.93

A LVL 4 Max Power output 8427.468

A LVL 5 Max power output 16613.6579

And JTL's figures are nowhere close to that. Also one of the biggest reasons to use a nuclear power plant in space is because its Energy to Mass ratio is greater than 1 to 1. A 1 MW reactor wills way less than 1000 tones. Just some things for the Devs to think about.
