Radiation

When transporting radioactive materials such as Uranium Ore, care must be taken to avoid exposing outside objects to Radioactive Contaminants.Using proper transportation vessels, such as those which are lined with Lead, is crucial to ensuring that Duplicants avoid Radiation Sickness.

Radiation Sickness

Duplicants who are exposed to Radioactive Contaminants will need to wear protection or they risk coming down with Radiation Sickness.Some Duplicants will have more of a natural resistance to radiation, but prolonged exposure will still increase their chances of becoming sick.Consuming Rad Pills or seafood such as Cooked Seafood or Waterweed increases a Duplicant's radiation resistance, but will not cure a Duplicant's Radiation Sickness once they have become infected.On the other hand, exposure to radiation will kill Food Poisoning, Slimelung and Zombie Spores on surfaces (including on Duplicants).

Nuclear Energy

A Research Reactor will require Enriched Uranium to run. Uranium can be enriched using a Uranium Centrifuge.Once supplied with Enriched Uranium, a Research Reactors will create an enormous amount of Heat which can then be placed under a source of Water to produce Steamand connected to a Steam Turbine to produce a considerable source of Power.
