<hr />
<div>{{Languages}}{{:Infobox:Nuclear fuel}}<br />
<br />
Nuclear fuel is a new type of [[fuel]] introduced in game version 0.16. It has the highest energy density and vehicle bonuses of all the fuel types, providing an acceleration bonus of 250% (compared to [[Rocket fuel|rocket fuel]]'s 180%). The vehicle speed bonus (15%) is the same as for rocket fuel.<br />
<br />
Nuclear fuel is made from rocket fuel and [[uranium-235]], one of each to produce one unit of nuclear fuel.<br />
<br />
While nuclear fuel has 5.38 times the fuel value of rocket fuel in per-unit terms, it does not stack (i.e., stack size is 1), while rocket fuel stacks to 10, meaning that a full tank of rocket fuel will last nearly twice as long as a full tank of nuclear fuel. Also, for vehicles with a single-slot fuel inventory ([[car]] only), additional units must be held in the main inventory. (Although, as always, fuel units in the process of being burned do not show up in the fuel inventory, effectively giving room for a single spare in the car.)<br />

<br />
The most long-lasting of all the [[Fuel]], as well as the fuel with the most "bang" in the gas tank. It gives the highest vehicle speed bonus (250%), handily beating out [[Rocket fuel]] (180%).<br />
<br />
Nuclear Fuel provides 5.38x as much power per unit as Rocket Fuel, and 4.84x as much power per unit as [[Solid fuel]].<br />
<br />
Unlike Rocket Fuel, Nuclear Fuel is not an intermediate product. It exists only to give you something to do with all that extra [[Uranium-235]] you tend to accumulate at endgame.<br />

'''Fuel''' can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different types of fuel provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ).<br />
<br />
== Types ==<br />
<br />
This is a list of all items usable as fuel in burner devices, ordered by fuel value:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />

|-<br />
| {{imagelink|Rocket fuel}} || 225 MJ || 1.8 MJ per unit of [[crude oil]]<sup>1</sup> || 180% || 298.1 km/h<br />
|-<br />
| {{imagelink|Nuclear fuel}} || 1.21 GJ || 9.68 MJ per unit of [[crude oil]]<sup>1</sup><br/>1.21 GJ per [[Uranium-235]] || 250% || ?? km/h<br />

| {{imagelink|Uranium fuel cell}} || 8 GJ<sup>2</sup> || 507 MJ per [[uranium ore]]<sup>3</sup> || Unusable || Unusable<br />
|}<br />
<br />
(1) This assumes the crude oil is processed completely into solid fuel using [[advanced oil processing]] and [[heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[light oil cracking]]. More efficient methods are possible. In practice, the [[petroleum gas]] is more likely to be used for something other than solid fuel.<br />
<br />
(2) This fuel type can only be used in a [[nuclear reactor]]. Unlike other fuel types, it cannot be placed into standard burners.<br />
<br />
(3) Assuming that all U-238 is enriched, all used up cells are reprocessed, and there is no reactor neighbor bonus.<br />
<br />
== Consumption ==<br />
<br />
The following formula can be used to find how long a fuel will last in a device:<br />
<code>Burn time (s) = Fuel value (MJ) / Energy consumption (MW)</code><br />
<br />
For example, when using coal in a [[burner inserter]] with an energy consumption of 188 kW (or 0.188 MW): <code>Burn time = 8 / 0.188</code><br />
<br />
we find that the burn time is approximately 42.55 seconds.<br />

<br />
Used in the production of orbital rockets. It is the second-most long-lasting of all the fuel types, beat only by [[Nuclear fuel]]. As of version 0.13, Rocket fuel can also be used in burner devices to provide 225MJ of energy, however this is slightly less efficient than using 10 [[solid fuel]]s unless extra products are created using [[productivity module]]s.<br />
<br />
10 rocket fuel are required for each [[rocket part]], so 1000 rocket fuel are needed for each rocket launch. Additionally 50 rocket fuel are required for each [[satellite]].<br />
