The way the nuke reactor and bioreactor works is that the game keeps track of power produced. Once a certain amount is hit (600 for reactor, varries on material in bioreactor) the lowest power item is consumed, and that number gets subtracted.

You can see this if you leave a fish in a bioreactor for a while, and then put fungal samples in. The fungal samples will dissapear as you add them, decreasing the "power produced" value each time (by 15 specifically for fungal samples).

Doesn't really help you, but it's a fun fact!
