Reactor not accepting uranium in inventory

I constructed a new 7.5m Reactor at the Starter Platform to consume some uranium ore. I have 150 units of ore.

When I connect the reactor to storage using conveyors or try to drop the ore through any of the import ports (top, bottom, back), the reactor is not accepting any uranium. The inventory shows red as if the item is not valid.

In missions, I was able to drop the ore directly into the reactor to have it provide power. The reactor is powered on.

Grinding down and rebuilding the reactor also does not fix the issue.

I tried straight connectors, connector nodes and even a small 2.5m storage container. Nothing is working.

Ahh never mind. The reactor uses Enriched Uranium, which is produced in the Refinery.

Either smaller reactors use the raw ore, or the missions are using the wrong item. If the missions are using the wrong item, you might want to modify them to include steps to have the Space Engineer refine the ore prior to feed it to the reactors.

The conveyor system also doesn't seem to be feeding Enriched Uranium from the Refinery to the Reactor, even though I can drag and drop between them.
