Need power plant ideas.

[metalgeekzy]

I have 3 1x2 clear green bricks and 5 1x1 clear green slants. 
I want to use them as uranium to power one of my builds. 
Problem is, i dont know how to make it interesting enough without hiding those bricks. I want the uranium to be seen. 
This is what i have so far. I could surround it with clear glass. Maybe add a on/off switch with indicators. Instrument panel. Perhaps smoke stacks. 

Any other ideas to make this more power plant looking? Also, i am not married to this specific layout. Any ideas are welcome.

Have you thought about building a power-cell type structure? creating an interesting cylinder or cube of technical printed parts and the trans-green parts? Or grill tiles etc.

I mean, I can think of a lot of power plant designs for things, but what sort of structure of vehicle is it?

The cheese slopes fit nicely under transparent domes...

You could add those on the top of your build for a sci-fi look and still see the uranium.

You can see how to do it in, for example, the Heartlake Grand Hotel set, where a yellow cheese slope is used as ... cheese!

Its a space base on an alien planet. Think of the movie The Martian.

Ok, that helps. 

So for a power plant for a whole base would require a structure of its own; this makes me think of electrical substations and power cells.

 

That could looks good on a base. Switch the blue core for the transparent green shades. Bleys and metallics for the housing.
