Description

Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is the intermediate crafting item of the IndustrialCraft 2 (IC2) Nuclear Reactor chain. Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is crafted in a shaped recipe: the middle row of the crafting grid holds 3 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235, while the top and bottom rows hold 6 Uranium 238 in total. Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 comes from running Crushed Uranium Ore through a Thermal Centrifuge, and Uranium 238 drops from the same ore processing plus the reprocessing of depleted uranium fuel rods.
The only use of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is canning: 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel plus 1 empty Fuel Rod in a Canning Machine produces a uranium fuel rod that burns one full reactor cycle of 20,000 seconds and yields 2,000,000 EU at 5 EU per tick from a single rod. Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is highly radioactive and harms unprotected players, and the IC2 wiki documents no way to decompose the fuel itself — only depleted rods go back through a Thermal Centrifuge. Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel exists in IC2 Experimental on the Java Edition.

Java Edition Guide

How to use Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Crush uranium ore

    Macerate Uranium Ore into Crushed Uranium Ore; each crushed ore is one centrifuge batch.

  2. 2

    Centrifuge for U-235

    Run Crushed Uranium Ore through a Thermal Centrifuge to receive 1 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 and 3 Uranium 238 per batch.

  3. 3

    Craft the fuel

    On a crafting table place 3 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 in the middle row and Uranium 238 in the top and bottom rows (6 total) to make 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel.

  4. 4

    Can into a fuel rod

    Insert 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel and 1 empty Fuel Rod into a Canning Machine to receive a uranium fuel rod.

  5. 5

    Run the reactor

    Place the rod in a Nuclear Reactor: a single rod burns one full cycle of 20,000 seconds and produces 2,000,000 EU at 5 EU per tick.

Tip

Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is highly radioactive — can it into rods promptly instead of carrying unprotected stacks around your base.

Frequently asked questions

What is Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel used for?

Its only use is canning: combined with an empty Fuel Rod in a Canning Machine it produces a uranium fuel rod for the IC2 Nuclear Reactor.

What is the recipe?

A shaped recipe: 3 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 in the middle row and 6 Uranium 238 across the top and bottom rows yield 1 Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel.

Where does Uranium 235 come from?

From a Thermal Centrifuge: each Crushed Uranium Ore gives 1 Tiny Pile of Uranium 235 plus 3 Uranium 238; purified crushed ore gives 3 tiny piles.

How long does the fuel rod last?

One full reactor cycle — 20,000 seconds — during which a single rod produces 2,000,000 EU at 5 EU per tick.
