As recorded, the blueprint is configured for belting use, but it can easily be converted for bots by removing the belts, replacing the two lower iron chests with fuel chests, and placing depleted cell collection chests under the appropriate long-arm inserters.
I've intentionally excluded turbines and pumps from the blueprint, because I want flexibility in how to pipe in water, and I don't want to invest in 80-something turbines right off the bat. (I usually don't need that much power to start.) I've therefore made the water and steam pipes accessible around the edges instead. It's also possible to lop off up to 34 heat exchangers and their heat pipes for further build cost reductions, without compromising the overheat protection, so long as you don't try to tax the plant above its new, reduced power limit (-10MW per exchanger excluded):

Also, consider connecting this plant through a complementary autobreaker to prevent blackouts from affecting it.
Control Circuitry
The control circuit tests for the following conditions before it activates the fuel cell inserters:
① the system is not manually disabled
② there are no fuel cells outstanding in any of the reactors,
③ reactor temperatures are within operting margins,
④ all 4 of the fuel cell chests have fuel, and
⑤ steam is low.
Once all conditions are met, all fuel cell inserters grab fuel cells simultaneously. (Inserters will grab from entities with just 1 tick of enabling signal, but they cannot do the same from belts, so the fuel chests are helpful, even with belting.)
The constant combinator provides manual override access; turning it off will suspend operation, whereas setting the inserter signal will force-feed the reactors.

Control Circuitry
Combinator description by dot color:
Red: Start condition checkers. From left to right, steam detector, fuel chest tallier, reactor cell counter, manual override reader. Steam detector is set to activate below 15k steam per tank.
Green: Fuel chest checkers. Check chests individually to prevent uneven distribution of fuel (e.g. from fuel on the belt running out, or a player dumping fuel cells in a random chest) from causing activation when only some of the reactors have fuel in their chest.
Cyan: Edge finder. Converts the hand contents signals from the inserters to positive and negative pulses when they grab and drop their loads, respectively.
Yellow: Pulse filters. Isolate the relevant (new cell dropped and empty cell grabbed) pulses from the edge finder output to send to the memory cell for tracking.
Magenta: Spent cell signal converter. Converts pulses of fuel cell signal to spent cell signal to be recognized by the memory cell.
Blue: Memory cell. Keeps track of fuel cells currently outstanding in the reactors by counting and remembering pulses from all reactor inserters; fresh cell pulses decrement, while spent cell pulses increment. Resets if the manual memory reset is triggered.
White: Start poller. Sends activation signal to fuel cell inserters if all 4 conditions are met.
Constant combinator: Provides manual override access. H signal halts operation, while R signal resets memory (which shouldn't be necessary unless tampering with control circuitry or fuel in the reactors.)

Manual priming instructions
1. Disconnect any turbines (or other steam drains). The fastest way to do this is probably to remove any turbines, pumps, or pipes directly connected to the steam pipes around the edges of the build. Disconnecting the turbines from all consumer electrical connections (including the control circuit) will also work, if you're not using the steam for anything else.
2. Enable the manual reset signal. (See circuitry section for details.) If you haven't used any manual overrides yet, this means turning on the constant combinator, and setting the R signal to 1.
3. Prime each reactor with 2 fuel cells if cold-starting (from 15℃), or 1 cell if hot-starting (from ~500℃).
4. Go do something else while the reactors run.
5. When the reactors are done running, (and you remember to check,) reconnect your turbines, and wait for all depleted cells to be emptied out of the reactors.
6. Once all depleted cells have been emptied, disable the reset signal (by setting the R signal to 0), and turn the constant combinator off.
The system should now operate normally.
