'''Nuclear fuel''' is a resources used for [[Nuclear power plant|nuclear power plants]] in ''[[Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic]]''.

==Background==
Nuclear fuel is material used in nuclear power stations to produce heat to power turbines. Heat is created when nuclear fuel undergoes nuclear fission.

Most nuclear fuels contain heavy fissile actinide elements that are capable of undergoing and sustaining nuclear fission. The three most relevant fissile isotopes are uranium-233, uranium-235 and plutonium-239. When the unstable nuclei of these atoms are hit by a slow-moving neutron, they frequently split, creating two daughter nuclei and two or three more neutrons. In that case, the neutrons released go on to split more nuclei. This creates a self-sustaining chain reaction that is controlled in a nuclear reactor, or uncontrolled in a nuclear weapon. Alternatively, if the nucleus absorbs the neutron without splitting, it creates a heavier nucleus with one additional neutron.

Not all types of nuclear fuels create power from nuclear fission; plutonium-238 and some other elements are used to produce small amounts of nuclear power by radioactive decay in radioisotope thermoelectric generators and other types of atomic batteries.

Nuclear fuel has the highest energy density of all practical fuel sources.

==Gameplay==
[[UF6]] and [[chemicals]] are delivered to the [[nuclear fuel fabrication]] building, where workers and engineers are turning it over into Nuclear fuel.

===Production===
[[File:resourceFlowchart_NuclearFuel.png|thumb|right|350px|Nuclear fuel resource flow chart]]
To produce Nuclear fuel, UF6 and chemicals must be delivered to an nuclear fuel fabrication building. In the nuclear fuel fabrication building workers and engineers turn the UF6 and chemicals into Nuclear fuel, packaged into containers. The maximum production per workday is '''0.095t'''. The consumption rate is '''0.40t''' UF6 and '''0.75t''' chemicals for '''0.095t''' nuclear fuel.

===Storage===
Nuclear fuel can only be stored in containers in a radiation protected storage, at the [[nuclear fuel fabrication]] buildings.

===Transportation===
They can be transported by using [[Road vehicles#Open-hull|open-hull trucks]], [[trains]] using open-hull [[Trains#Cargo Wagons|cargo wagons]], or by [[Road vehicles#Forklifts|forklifts]].
