Expensive and require a lot of time and resource for electricity. I ratherrather use hundreds of solar panel than this reactor.
Unless we meet a machine that require a lots of power.
Nuclear reactor are too late to be usefull.

Hell no. Try building bigger factory.
Re: Nuclear reactor are too late to be usefull.
Too late??? It only needs up to blue science which is the 3rd of 7 science pack types. The progression makes perfect sense as it is now:
-- You get boilers + steam engines from the start of the game without research
-- You get solar with only red and green science
-- You get nuclear with red, green, and blue
It's not very accurate to call that late.
As for the cost, everything needed to make nuclear reactors and associated items can also be done at the same level as blue science. Both solar and nuclear require you to setup oil processing (batteries for accumulators, red circuits for reactors). The rest are just bulk simple materials like concrete, steel, copper. and pipe.
