In practice, any ship that makes semi-regular [[Hyperspace]] jumps can easily keep multiple [[Fusion Reactor]]s running with just a few tanks, a [[Chemical Lab]], a [[Refinery]], and a few [[Hyperspace Scoop]]s. Larger tanks and more scoops allow you to operate longer between jumps, whereas more reactors/labs/refineries increases your max sustainable power output.

<nowiki>**</nowiki>: The best storage stage (0.5 storage/[[Deuterium]] equivalent) is [[Stable Isotopes]]. And since it takes only 1-2 [[Chemical Lab]]s to support MANY Fusions reactors it's worth having extra refineries to quickly compact [[Hyperspace Isotopes]] into [[Stable Isotopes]] and primarily store that; then use smaller storage for the other stages. 1 [[Refinery]] per 2 [[Chemical Lab]]s ~~with~~ produce 5 and consume 4 [[Stable Isotopes]] every second ~~(on average)~~; this will allow you to refill your [[Stable Isotopes]] tanks even at peek usage.
