Uranium Fuel Rod

Nuclear Fuel Rods are used as fuel in the Nuclear Power Plant at a rate of 1 rod every 5 minutes. They are turned into Nuclear Waste throughout the burning process. They give off strong radiation. A fuel rod has a fuel value of 750GJ.

Nuclear Fuel Rods can be used as fuel in vehicles without producing any waste. Although it does make the vehicle in question radioactive. (Riding in a radioactive vehicle causes no damage to the player)

Crafting
Note: the crafting process of this item is not available in the Craft Bench, only in the Manufacturer. This is probably due to the radiation.

Trivia

 * There are 3 known normal Uranium nodes. Each node with a Miner Mk3, overclocked to 250% and using a Conveyor Belt Mk5 or higher can produce 600/min Uranium ore or a total of 1,800/min. Using the alternative recipe, this can be used to produce 1,400/min of Uranium Cell. Using the alternative recipe, this can in turn be used to produce 84/min Nuclear Fuel Rods. Since each rod 'burns' for 5 min at full power, the rods can thus sustain 420 Nuclear Power Plants, which combined will produce 1,050,000 MW (or 1.05 TW) of power. Now your only problem is actually finding a use for that much power, finding a place for putting that many power plants, and dealing with the 2,100/min Nuclear Waste (a full Industrial Storage Container in 11.42857 minutes). However, all of the power plants would have to be active simultaneously to produce that much waste.
 * Someone on Reddit built a 1TW setup
