Plutonium Waste

Plutonium Waste
The by-product of consuming Plutonium Fuel Rods in a Nuclear Power Plant. Must be stored in a safe location. Handle with caution. Caution: EXTREMELY Radioactive.

Plutonium Waste is a radioactive byproduct of  Nuclear Power Plants by burning  Plutonium Fuel Rods.

It can be reprocessed into  Ficsonium and thus  Ficsonium Fuel Rods, which can be burned for power, where it creates no waste.

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

 Plutonium Waste cannot be sunk into the AWESOME Sink and will clog the input.

Dealing with Plutonium Waste

There are two ways of legitimately dealing with Plutonium Waste:

• Storing Plutonium Waste in a giant complex of Storage Containers, compared to  Uranium Waste is more viable, as Plutonium Waste will always produce at a slower pace than the Uranium Waste its parent fuel is rod made from, so the same amount of Storage Containers can accept Plutonium Waste for a longer period of time before filling up as compared to Uranium Waste.
• Reprocessing Plutonium Waste into  Ficsonium and thus  Ficsonium Fuel Rods takes some complex late-game items, but does not create any waste while giving you a few extra GW-s in the process of burning the Ficsonium Fuel Rods.

There is technically a third way - giving it to Lizard Doggos and throwing them into the void - but this is impractical, time-consuming and impossible to automate.

History

• Patch 1.0: Added Ficsonium, making it no longer necessary to store Plutonium Waste indefinitely.
• Patch 0.7.0.7: Fixed Plutonium Waste and Alien DNA Capsule being missing from Programmable Splitter and Smart Splitter
• Patch 0.4.0.8: Waste production rate halved
• Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced
