I think that some uranium pellets without burnt_result will be a nice option for the nuclear stage.
Just another electric pump is too easy for me.
The uranium pellet:
Ingredients:
1x Uranium fuel cell
2x Advanced circuit
4x Steel plate
Results:
1x Used up uranium fuel cell
1x Uranium pellet
So, such fuel has no waste after the burning and the water offshore pump can be powerful enough. For example, 120 fluids per tick?
