This 279MW reactor is designed to look super clean and organized. It does not aim for max fuel efficiency, relying on kovarex enrichment for cheap fuel.
Input:
3x nuclear fuel per 200s (233% efficiency at full power)
3x water pipe at 960/s
Nice! I was fiddling with new (non-smart) reactors as well, but didn't dare go below 2x2 . But you're right that the neighbour bonus is more of a gimmick once you have kovarex up and running...
PS, if you're being minimalist, why not go for 2 reactors? Also, not 100% sure about dropping the pipes - it makes it narrower, but you also need more exchangers to make up for the ratio and substations...
2x1 reactor

DaveMcW: 278.4 MW in 21x59 = 0.225 MW/tile
vanatteveldt 1: 160 MW in 17x44 = 0.214 MW/tile
vanatteveldt 2: 160 MW in 27x29 = 0.204 MW/tile
or excluding the reactors...
DaveMcW: 278.4 MW in 21x52 = 0.255 MW/tile
