Non-Fissile Uranium

Non-Fissile Uranium
The Uranium-238 isotope is non-fissile, meaning it cannot be used for nuclear fission. It can, however, be converted into fissile Plutonium in the Particle Accelerator. Caution: Mildly Radioactive.

Stack size	500
Radioactive	0.75

Non-Fissile Uranium is an intermediate component of producing  Plutonium Fuel Rods.

It is one of the few items that cannot be discarded with the trash button in containers or the inventory, giving a message that "Nuclear Waste cannot be destroyed. FICSIT does not waste."

AWESOME Sink

 Non-Fissile Uranium cannot be sunk into the AWESOME Sink and will clog the input.

Tips

• When using the Fertile Uranium alt for making Non-Fissile Uranium, when using all standard recipes otherwise, the  Uranium should be split so that 80% goes to making  Uranium Fuel Rods and 20% goes to making  Non-Fissile Uranium, a 4:1 ratio. This becomes an 8:3 ratio if the Uranium Fuel Unit alternate is also used, and a 5:3 ratio if using both Uranium Fuel Unit and Infused Uranium Cell. With all of those and Instant Plutonium Cell, the ratio is 5:6.
