With the term.setCursorPos its disposed to ensure the bars are centered under there header, but for example term.setCursorPos(3,5) sets the cursor to position (1,5) instead of having an x position of 3. This program is disposed to monitor a reactor and report back the status to me.

After writing the text you passed it, print() moves the cursor to the start of the next line down. You'll hence need to call term.setCursorPos() within your "pointer" loops, eg:

	--Shows Fuel Level (Max 48000)
	local fuelAmount = Reactor.callRemote("BigReactors-Reactor_0", "getFuelAmount")  -- This check is slow, so best to only perform it once per screen update.
	for pointer=10, 0, -1 do
		if fuelAmount >= (pointer * 4800) then
			term.setCursorPos(3, 17 - pointer)
			term.write ("#")
		end
	end

It also looks like if you tweaked this:

local Reactor = peripheral.wrap("right")  -- This is wrapping a wired modem on the side of the computer.

... to this:

local Reactor = peripheral.wrap("BigReactors-Reactor_0")  -- This wraps the reactor on the end of the modem.

... then you'd be able to change the likes of this:

Reactor.callRemote("BigReactors-Reactor_0", "getFuelAmount")  -- This has the modem call the reactor's function.

... to this:

Reactor.getFuelAmount()  -- This calls the reactor's function directly.
