Californium bombardment in the reactor item for crafting

[Max Power]

I cannot work out how to use the Californium bombardment in the reactor to get the reward from the californium bombardment so that i can get the items needed to craft better stuff. not sure if this helps but i only just unlocked the reactor.

You need to craft the Neutron Bombardment using stored energy and Californium, then you have to power the reactor with a total amount of energy going through it that the bombardment requires. This can be done either actively, or by storing power in the reactor via batteries and letting the bombardment drain them, afterwards, you can click on it to remove it and collect the Einsteinium.
Look for total energy production, it should be a negative number when you mouse over it, that is how much energy the bombardment will drain.

you must have more energy accumulation than you have a fuel cell - only then will it work - because the given cell will drain you of energy that you cannot keep in batteries in the reactor - because you have to cool it

Fuel-rods generate heat and power.
Bombarment-cells generate heat and Consume power.

So to use bombardment you have to do 2-things:

• Cool it the same as you would with fuel.
  
• supply it with enough energy

energy can be supplied by having some fuel-cells providing enough power, or by having it stored in batteries.

If you can not provide enough cooling (even by just 0.01) everything will stop. And if you can not provide enough power and the batteries run low it will also stop.
with a fuelrods providing 20 energy and the bombarment needing 24 energy you must make sure to never reach 0 energy or it will stop - it will not slowly keep on running but fully stop until you can supply it with enough energy again.

thank you guys for all the info
