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 the 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.
