The '''uranium fuel cell''' is a [[fuel]] used exclusively by the [[nuclear reactor]] to produce heat. It cannot be used in other burner devices or [[vehicle]]s.

	~~A fuel cell can run a single~~ [[nuclear reactor]] for 200 seconds. ~~Unlike with steam power~~, a uranium fuel cell ~~will continue~~ to ~~burn no matter the power draw, so any heat energy not consumed is wasted~~.		Unlike [[boiler]]s, a nuclear reactor will continue to burn fuel regardless of heat consumption. A uranium fuel cells burns for 200 seconds.

			Rather than completely consuming fuel, burning a uranium fuel cell results in a [[depleted uranium fuel cell]], which can be [[nuclear fuel reprocessing\|reprocessed]] in a [[centrifuge]] to recover some [[uranium-238]].
