Description
Containment Reactor Plating is an Industrial Craft 2 reactor component that dampens the explosion of a poorly designed Nuclear Reactor. One Reactor Plating plus two Advanced Alloy craft exactly one Containment Reactor Plating, and the recipe is shapeless, so grid positions do not matter. The base Reactor Plating is crafted the same shapeless way from one Lead Plate and one Advanced Alloy, which makes lead and alloy the starting point of the whole chain. The official IC2 wiki lists Containment Reactor Plating among the Reactor Components of the Experimental branch.
Inside a Nuclear Reactor, Containment Reactor Plating works as blast insurance for uncertain designs: a poorly designed reactor explodes, and installed Containment Reactor Plating dampens that blast. Players testing an untried reactor layout can install Containment Reactor Plating before the first run, because rebuilding a machine hall after a nuclear blast costs far more than one Reactor Plating and two Advanced Alloy.

Guide
How to craft Containment Reactor Plating in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Craft the base Reactor Plating
Combine one Lead Plate and one Advanced Alloy on a crafting table. The shapeless recipe accepts any cells of the grid.
-
2
Craft Containment Reactor Plating
Put the Reactor Plating into the crafting grid together with two Advanced Alloy. The shapeless recipe yields exactly one Containment Reactor Plating.
-
3
Install Containment Reactor Plating in a Nuclear Reactor
Move the finished item into the Nuclear Reactor as a reactor component. Installed Containment Reactor Plating then dampens the explosion of a poorly designed reactor.
Total ingredient cost
One finished Containment Reactor Plating costs one Lead Plate and three Advanced Alloy in total: two Advanced Alloy enter the final recipe directly, and one more Advanced Alloy is spent inside the base Reactor Plating.

Frequently asked questions
Is Containment Reactor Plating a block or an item?
Containment Reactor Plating is an item from the Reactor Components family. Install Containment Reactor Plating inside a Nuclear Reactor instead of placing a block in the world.
Which version of Industrial Craft 2 has Containment Reactor Plating?
The official IC2 wiki marks Containment Reactor Plating and the Reactor Plating recipe as Experimental content, and the recipe listing on this page comes from the 1.12.2 Experimental build.
How much does Containment Reactor Plating reduce a reactor explosion?
The official IC2 wiki gives no numbers for the dampening. Containment Reactor Plating is described qualitatively: the plating dampens the explosion of a poorly designed Nuclear Reactor.
Does any recipe use Containment Reactor Plating as an ingredient?
No. No Industrial Craft 2 recipe lists Containment Reactor Plating among its ingredients, so the crafting chain ends at this item.
