	Nuclear fuel is a type of [[fuel]]. It has the highest energy density and vehicle bonuses of all the fuel types, providing an acceleration modifier of 250% (compared to [[Rocket fuel\|rocket fuel]]'s 180%). The vehicle top speed modifier (115%) is the same as for rocket fuel.		Nuclear fuel is a type of [[fuel]].

Bilka: these pros/cons toe the line of subjectivity. Since their causes are found in the rest of the page (crafting time, crafting recipe, previous sentence regarding fuel value), I'm removing them

	Compared to rocket fuel, nuclear fuel not only gives a higher acceleration bonus, but also gives more than twelve times the energy output ~~(which~~ compensates for the inability of nuclear fuel to be stacked; a single unit of nuclear fuel provides more energy than a stack of ten rocket fuel). As only one rocket fuel is required to manufacture nuclear fuel, this makes nuclear fuel an extremely efficient fuel source. However, it also produces more [[pollution]], requires a long time to manufacture in addition to the manufacturing time for rocket fuel, and needs a steady supply of uranium-235, the rarest resource in the game.
