Uranium Fuel Rod

Nuclear Fuel Rods are used as fuel in the Nuclear Power Plant, where they are turned into Nuclear Waste. They give off radiation. It has a fuel value of 750GJ.

Crafting
Note: the crafting process of this item is not available in the Craft Bench, only in machines. 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 1800/min. Using the alternative recipe, this can be used to produce 1400/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 450 Nuclear Power Plants, which combined will produce 1,125,000 MW (or 1.125 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 2250/min Nuclear Waste (roughly a full Industrial Storage Container each hour).
