Depleted Uranium is a Solid, a byproduct of enriching Uranium in an Uranium Centrifuge.

It melts into Liquid Uranium.

Usage

One use for Depleted Uranium is as a building material, like any other Refined Metal. Out of all Refined Metals it has the highest Specific Heat Capacity, the lowest Thermal Conductivity, and the highest Radiation Absorption Factor (tied with Lead). Plug Slugs can eat depleted uranium and produce hydrogen.

Production

• Depleted Uranium is produced as a byproduct of:
  • Enriching Uranium Ore in an Uranium Centrifuge
  • Working Radiation Lamps
  • Using Uranium Ore or Enriched Uranium in a Manual Radbolt Generator
