Plutonium Energy
Description
This mod adds a new type of nuclear material - Plutonium (238 and 239 isotopes). You can get it by using an advanced reprocessing process of Uranium nuclear fuel.
With this new material, you can make Plutonium-based nuclear fuel for the regular reactor, as well as MOX fuel out of the more common isotopes. The MOX reactor is smaller and has a lower energy output alone, but the neighbour bonus is increased and the cells produce no waste.
Nuclear Breeding is a gateway to producing Plutonium in large quantities by burning a cell in a special reactor.
Besides energy generation, Plutonium also has a use for destruction. This mod adds plutonium ammo - cannon shells, machine gun / pistol ammo.
And of course - the Plutonium Atomic bomb. It's an Artillery shell with a very powerful explosion.
Since Factorio 2.1 (mod version 1.8.2), mods can set custom reactor neighbour connectivity. Plutonium Energy makes use of that feature, allowing to mix and match reactors, and overall making the connection requirements more lenient. The standard reactor has been changed as well.

Other mods about nuclear energy:
- Realistic Reactors - Impressing mod that makes reactors more complicated and realistic. Has support for other mods, partially Plutonium Energy. Full support from PE side is planned.
- RITEG - Good mod that adds RITEGs
- Realistic Reactor Glow - Changes reactor's glow from green to more realistic cyan (Similar to how MOX reactor glows)
