Uranium Fuel Rod

Nuclear Fuel Rods are used as fuel in the Nuclear Power Plant at a rate of 1 rod every 5 minutes, or 0.2 / min. They are turned into Nuclear Waste in the burning process. They give off strong radiation.

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

AWESOME Sink
Additionally, they can be used as vehicle fuel without producing any waste.

Trivia

 * There are 3 known normal Uranium nodes. Each node with a Miner Mk.3, overclocked to 250% and using a Conveyor Belt Mk.5 or higher can produce 600/min Uranium ore for a total of 1,800/min. Using the alternative recipes, it is possible to produce 94.5/min Nuclear Fuel Rods. Since each rod burns for 5 min at full power consumption, the rods can thus sustain 472.5 Nuclear Power Plants, which combined will produce 1 181 250 MW (or 1.18 TW) of power.

History

 * Patch 0.2.1.1: Nuclear Power Plant now produces waste over time instead of just spitting them all out after a fuel rod is consumed
 * Patch 0.2.1: Introduced
