Would have to agree with Sotanaht. Pointless and useless device with its current parameters. Unlogical too. How can two Reginald fish give about the same amout of energy as an urianim rod?!?

But besides that, bio reactors are way cheaper on the long run. Having 6 Multipurpose Rooms with 3 Alien Containments and 3 Bio Reactors, you can power up a small city with it, while experiencing close to none of the hassle you'll need to feed even a single Nuclear Reactor.

As for being compact, well, I see no reasong to build a single Multipurpose Room base with a Nuclear Reactor at its heart. It's just pointless. I would rather take extra Battery/Power Cell, so, when I run out of power, so I can replace dead one have enough to get back home. Man, it might take less time to have a quick trip to your normal-sized base on a Seaglider for fresh Power Cell, rather than mning resources for them uranium rods.

Another way to make a compact base is to just build a Thermal Plant with enough Power Transmitters to place your base, practically, anywhere on the map. Much cheaper (on the long run) and no hassle at all once you set it up.

To make this Nuclear Reactor interesting, they should have made each rod give 10K power, if not even more than that.
