Uranium-238

~98 cr-equiv/unit
reactor.fuel.uranium238♻ Fertile feedstock. Uranium-238 comes off enrichment as tailings (a byproduct of making Uranium-235) and is what a burnt-out fuel rod leaves behind. Not fissile itself — load it into a breeder to breed Plutonium-239.
Recipe: 3× Raw Uranium + 1× Refining Flux @ Enrichment Centrifuge → 2× output
Consumed (to make 1, to the floor)
- Raw ore (mined): Raw Uranium ×3
- Bought from shop: Refining Flux ×1
- Activities: ~3 asteroid mines (CORE) · 80 cr · ~40s craft/refine
Tools / infrastructure required
- Mining Laser Mk I
module.laser_mining_t1(starter, free) host: **ship** - Enrichment Centrifuge
module.reactor_enrichmenthost: **faction room** (cheapest; also STATION/ROOM)
To acquire those tools
Enrichment Centrifuge module.reactor_enrichment:
- Raw ore (mined): Raw Copper ×18, Raw Iron ×27, Silica ×6, Raw Titanium ×12
- Planet deposits (mined on a planet): Fluorspar ×30, Rare Earth Metals ×8
- Bought from shop: Refining Flux ×4
- Activities: ~145 asteroid mines (CORE) · ~6 asteroid mines (MID) · 320 cr · ~505s craft/refine
Alternatives
- Refining Flux: also via mining bonus drop (5%, any zone), vote capsule (STANDARD capsule · 5% · Rare, 6/open), refine at Ore Refinery Mk I
