Nuclear Enrichment Plant

High-risk nuclear processing.

Faster uranium enrichment than Kovarex, but every cycle has a 50% explosion chance. Use safety modules to reduce risk at the cost of production speed.

Risk vs Speed

Safety Setup	Explosion Risk	Speed Penalty
No modules	50%	0%
1x Tier 3	30%	-25%
2x Tier 3	10%	-50%
4x Tier 3	0%	-100%

Full safety = zero production. Find your balance.

Recipes

Uranium Enrichment
- Input: 50 uranium ore + 10 U-238
- Output: 5 U-235 + 10 radioactive waste
- Time: 120s

Waste Processing
- Radioactive Waste + Stone → Radioactive Sand (vitrification)
- Radioactive Sand + Purification Filter → Stone (filtration)

Explosions

When a plant explodes:
- 25 tile blast radius damages nearby structures
- Creates contamination zone with poison clouds (10 min)
- Players in zone take radiation damage

Tips

Build far from your main base
Use walls to contain blast damage
Start with some safety modules, not zero
Keep backup plants ready
Process waste regularly
