It all depends on whether the limit on the reactor's lifespan is fuel or embrittlement of the components. I'm inclined to assume it's set up to be both; this suggests that refuelling a reactor wouldn't work, but that the lifespan is from ignition. I suspect, though, that you could get away with three reactors: one live, one hot spare, and one undergoing maintenance. Add a big workshop...
