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 vehicles.

Unlike boilers, 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 reprocessed in a centrifuge to recover some uranium-238.
