Fallout

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki
Normal layer type, like snow.
Full block type, artificial.

Nuclear fallout is the fission products and neutron activated materials created by a nuclear explosion and pulled up into the sky and then "falling out" of the sky back to the earth as a sort of nuclear ash.

Production

It is commonly produced by nuclear explosions or by nuclear waste blocks.

Uses

Fallout has very few good uses other than in the radiation-powered engine as it is rather radioactive at 30 RAD/s (item form).

It behaves similarly to snow, naturally forming as a shallow layer of granular material and only being able to be picked up with a shovel or equivalent as a dust like item. This dust can be remade into the layer-like block or into regular blocks for compact storage.

The fallout dust can be put through a SILEX to exctract trace radioactive materials:
