Spent fuel rod
What a fuel rod leaves in the reactor: still hot, for the waste cask.
In the game
How to get it
A fission reactor gives one back when the rod in its core has given all its steam -- or when the reactor is broken with a rod in its core.
What it is for
Put it in a waste cask: two of them give back one enriched uranium.
Why it exists
Nothing is free: the atom's power leaves waste to take care of.
