Uranium Waste

Nuclear Waste is produced by the Nuclear Reactor. It emits radiation as much as a Nuclear Fuel Rod. It's waste, and its sole purpose is to get rid of it. It cannot be discarded with the trash button in containers or your inventory.

In the current version, a single power plant at 100% utilization will produce 25 barrels of Waste every 300 seconds. If the power plant is overclocked, the production rate is likewise increased. NOTE: As power plants seldom run at 100% capacity, the actual production of waste will be slower.

Nuclear Waste cannot be deleted or destroyed and must be stored indefinitely. The barrels stack to 500, allowing for 12000 in a Storage Container (40 hours @ 100%), or 24000 (80 hours @ 100%) in an Industrial Storage Container. It is advised to make large farms featuring dozens of storage containers connected in series in order to concentrate all waste storage into one area, to minimize the area affected by radiation.

The current maximum production rate for Nuclear Waste is 2100/min.



Removing Nuclear Waste
The only way to delete Nuclear Waste without save editing is as follows:


 * 1) FInd and tame a Lizard Doggo
 * 2) Feed it a full stack of Nuclear Waste
 * 3) Kill it, effectively deleting its inventory contents

Please note that this is likely not intended and may be patched out eventually.

Update 3
Nuclear Waste is one of the few items that cannot be fed into the AWESOME Sink.
