Well, according to the specs listed here on the wiki, it'll output 20,000 energy per rod, so that'll be 6666 power per uraninite, not 833.

Seems to me you get a lot of bang for your buck. 16 fishes at 750 power each lets you prime a bioreactor with 12,000 power. A nuclear eactor lets you prime it with 80,000 power. Even 5 bioreactors can only stack up 60,000 power worth of fuel.

Seems to be very low maintenance aside from grabbing some uraninite when you are out cave diving, and you can get an awful lot of power out of a single room. Output is equivalent to 5 bio reactors. If you add an alien containment for eact bioreactor too as a fish farm, you'd need TEN multipurpose rooms to match the output of a single reactor.

A fully loaded nuclear reactor should hold enough energy to run a water filtration unit non stop, with zero maintenance, for almost 18 hours.
