Encased Plutonium Cell

The Encased Plutonium Cell is an intermediate component of Uranium Waste reprocessing. Its alternate recipe is one of the few recipes crafted using the Particle Accelerator.

Alternate recipes analysis
The following shows different ways to produce 1 Encased Plutonium Cell / second, or 60 / min:
 * Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate which is calculated by: . The lower the better.
 * Energy per item can be used to measure how much power is consumed for the entire production chain. The lower the better.
 * As Uranium Waste is a by-product of power generation, it is assigned with 0 energy.
 * Space refers to building space, excluding belts and pipes. The lower the better.
 * Among multiple ways to produce each of the ingredient, the recipe with the lowest WP is chosen. Exception is mentioned below:
 * Non-fissile Uranium - Default
 * Concrete - Wet Concrete
 * Aluminum Casing
 * Although the Instant Plutonium Cell recipe use more raw resources, it is necessary to max out Uranium-Plutonium production, as it costs less Nuclear Waste per Cell.
 * If the purpose to produce Plutonium Fuel Rod is to get rid of Uranium Waste, then it is advised to choose the default recipe.
