Description

Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel is the intermediate crafting item used to produce Fuel Rod (Uranium) in the IndustrialCraft 2 (IC2) Nuclear Reactor chain. Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel are made from 3 Small Pile of Plutonium and 6 Tiny Pile of U-238 in a shapeless recipe, combining material recovered from depleted fuel reprocessing with U-238 byproducts. Cans 1:1 with an Empty Fuel Rod in a Canning Machine to produce a finished Fuel Rod (Uranium) with a 20,000-second reactor lifetime. Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel are also reprocessable in a Thermal Centrifuge back into their constituent piles, allowing players to recover material if a recipe changes or the fuel design is adjusted. The pellets exist in IC2 Experimental for Minecraft 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 as the core enriched-fuel building block of the IC2 breeder loop.

Java Edition Guide

How to use Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect plutonium piles

    Reprocess Depleted Fuel Rods in a Thermal Centrifuge until you have at least 3 Small Pile of Plutonium per pellet you plan to craft.

  2. 2

    Collect U-238 piles

    Macerate Uranium Ore and run the output through a Thermal Centrifuge to obtain 6 Tiny Pile of U-238 per pellet.

  3. 3

    Craft the pellets

    Place 3 Small Pile of Plutonium and 6 Tiny Pile of U-238 in a crafting grid in a shapeless arrangement to make 1 Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel.

  4. 4

    Can into a fuel rod

    Insert 1 Empty Fuel Rod and 1 Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel into a Canning Machine to receive a Fuel Rod (Uranium) ready for the reactor.

  5. 5

    Reprocess if needed

    If you change reactor designs, you can break a Pellets of Enriched Uranium Nuclear Fuel back into piles in a Thermal Centrifuge instead of wasting it.
