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's 180%). The vehicle top speed modifier (115%) is the same as for rocket fuel.
Nuclear fuel is made from rocket fuel and uranium-235, one of each to produce one unit of nuclear fuel.
Compared to rocket fuel, nuclear fuel not only gives a higher acceleration bonus, but also gives more than twelve times the energy output per item. Combined with a Rocket capacity of 10, this gives nuclear fuel a advantage in Space Age when moving energy from a planet to a platform.
Trivia
- The fuel value of 1.21 GJ is a reference to the Back to the Future franchise, in which the DeLorean uses a nuclear reaction to generate "1.21 Jigawatts" of electricity. Ironically, Emmett Brown specifically refutes the idea that the DeLorean uses nuclear fuel; the energy of the reaction is used to power the flux capacitor that allows time travel, and in Part III he specifies the DeLorean's internal combustion engine has always run on ordinary gasoline.
