Reactor rods are interior components that need to be supplied with uranium or plutonium pellets. A fuel port over each rod stack is needed to insert the fuel.

Rods are available in single, double, and quad variants. Higher tier rods generate more energy and heat.

Placing rods next to each other or next to neutron reflectors increases their energy output through neutron pulse interactions.

For detailed information on reactor mechanics, see the nuclear reactor guide.
