These will now be produced in the Blender as well, and will no longer require uranium pellets, which have been removed from the game.

Nuclear uranium waste can now be turned into plutonium.

Non-fissile uranium can be extracted from nuclear waste, turned into plutonium pellets, and eventually make plutonium fuel rods.

This means that you can finally get rid of your nuclear waste.

Well, sort of.

Because plutonium also produces waste, but it builds up much slower.

It's also a lot more radioactive, you see.

But that shouldn't be an issue if you store it far enough away from your base.
