The Reactor Computer Port is a utility block that can be used to monitor or control a Big Reactors multi-block reactor remotely, using a 
Computer.
The optional Computer Port provides the finest level of control over a reactor's operation, and is capable of querying and controlling a reactor much faster than either Redstone or RedNet. It acts like a standard ComputerCraft Peripheral.

Notes[edit]
When writing programs to control your reactor, you should always ensure that the Computer Port is actually connected. Reactors located far away may disassemble and deactivate due to chunks unloading from the world. If your reactor is not chunkloaded, make sure to call getConnected().
If a Computer Port receives a non-getConnected() call and is not connected to a valid reactor, it will throw a Lua exception back to the Computer.
Example[edit]
Assuming your Computer Port is directly behind your Computer:
local reactor
reactor = peripheral.wrap("back")
reactor.getFuelTemperature()
reactor.setActive(true)
