The Nations server is sorely lacking in power diversity. For a server with such a dynamic economy, it is a shame that there is no uranium trade. I believe that SF nuclear power should be enabled for the Nations server. I have also thought of some ways to better integrate uranium power into the Nation's systems and meta.
As of right now, no power source in Nations is renewable other than lava(although at incredible pain on account of buckets not being stackable). I am aware that in non-modified Slimefun, uranium is renewable. This can be fixed by disabling the intermediate recipes that let you wash sifted ore into uranium. Coolant is a slightly different problem, but without SF cargo it cannot be automated and now ice will be even more valuable as a way of making coolant.
Without being able to make uranium from sifted ore, one might ask, "How do we get uranium now?". I think we turn to how oil is acquired in-game to solve this. It makes more sense to mine for uranium and for some nations to have more than others. In real life, we get our uranium from mines distributed across the world. This can be mimicked by adding uranium or some uranium precursor to the towny resource system and increasing the rates of uranium occurring in SF geo scans. Furthermore, Minecraft Education Edition implies that redstone is some form of uranium ore, so a recipe could be added to convert redstone into uranium or vice versa to fill redstone shortages. Uranium could also be added to the nether dungeon loot tables.
In order to make uranium mining more valuable, either the power output or the consumption of uranium should be buffed. Real life reactors usually have an amount of uranium, and that amount will last the reactor for several decades. Without SF cargo reactors would be difficult to maintain, so the power output should reward the effort put into it.
In conclusion, adding SF reactors would be very beneficial to the Nations with little modifications to the existing systems on the server. Uranium would be a more valuable commodity that requires skill and expertise to use and transport effectively. Players adept at Sf would have more options when it comes to choosing a power source. This is why I think that SF nuclear reactors should be enabled on the nations server.
(Biproducts like depleted uranium could be used in the making of ammunition and armor like it is in real life. High end uranium penetrators or high tolerance armor could be another benefit to having a uranium supply chain. I leave this in parenthesis as i do not beleive there should be any major changes to the current arsenal of weapons. This would need to be its own independent suggestion and is only here because its tangentially related. )
