I tried to run some numbers and if I'm correct it turns out like this for a 1440 MW nuclear powerplant:
| Fuel Cell Type |
Fuel Value |
Burn Time (s) |
Cells/s |
Ore/Cell |
Ore/s |
Miners Needed |
| Vanilla Uranium Fuel Cell |
8 GJ |

0.0675 |
1,428 |

| Mod Uranium Fuel Cell |
50 GJ |
1,250 |
0.0224 |
1,000 |

| Mod Enriched Uranium Fuel Cell |

25,000 |
0.00112 |

43 |
| Mod Mixed Oxide Fuel Cell |
500 GJ |
12,500 |
0.00224 |
4,300 |

37 |
So perhaps a bit of a nerf is needed? Because i think even vanilla is already a bit too easy?
To be fair, I haven't play test yet, but i think the space science change might not appeal to everyone, has it kind of makes nuclear energy mandatory instead of optional.
