MOX (Mixed-Oxide) Fuel Rods are used as fuel in the 
Nuclear Reactor and 
Pressure Vessel Reactor. MOX Fuel Rods are radioactive, and a Hazmat Suit must be worn while handling to protect the player.
Recipe[edit]
Usage[edit]
MOX Fuel Rods last 1/2 a reactor cycle (10,000 seconds).
EU Reactor[edit]
MOX Fuel Rods become more efficient as reactor heat increases (up to 5 times normal efficiency at 99.9% maximum heat). MOX reactors can reach up to 35 times 1-rod efficiency with sufficient cooling.
Pressure Vessel Reactor[edit]
MOX Fuel Rods behave rather more sedately in the fluid reactor, outputting normal efficiency at reactor heat <50% and 2 times normal efficiency for reactor heat >50%.
While more difficult to build stably, a proper MOX fluid reactor can be much more efficient than an EU reactor, with optimized designs reaching above 40x efficiency.
Multi-rod assemblies[edit]
MOX Fuel Rods can be crafted into more powerful fuel rod assemblies.
Dual Fuel Rod[edit]
Quad Fuel Rod[edit]
