Gaseous Nuclear Waste is a radioactive gas produced by the decay of nuclear waste in a disposal drum. Gaseous waste also has a liquid counterpart: Liquid Nuclear Waste, also produced in addition of gaseous waste in the drum. Both are used to produce 
vitrified nuclear waste.
Production
- Using a
nuclear waste disposal drum to decay waste has many factors. Every type of nuclear waste has a different amount of liquid and gaseous waste that is given when a nuclear waste eventually decays, and depending on the size of the waste, decay also acts different. Here's a summary of how waste production works:
- Decay is calculated in ticks (1 tick = 50ms / 1 second = 20 ticks)
- Long-Lived Nuclear Waste has a 1 in 10800 chance to decay every tick.
- Tiny Pile of Long-Lived Nuclear Waste has a 1 in 1080 chance to decay every tick.
- Short-Lived Nuclear Waste has a 1 in 900 chance to decay every tick.
- Tiny Pile of Short-Lived Nuclear Waste has a 1 in 90 chance to decay every tick.
- Decay is calculated in ticks (1 tick = 50ms / 1 second = 20 ticks)
- Long and short lived waste can each give different amounts of <liquid> / < gas>, as seen in the following list:
- Short-Lived Waste:
- Long-Live Waste:
- U235 = 0mB / 0mB
- U233 = 0mB / 50mB
- NP237 = 0mB / 100mB
- TH232 = 0mB / 0mB
- SA326 = 0mB / 250mB
- (Amount does not change even if waste is tiny)
Uses
- Liquid/Gaseous waste can be used in a PUREX alongside
Lead Sand to produce vitrified nuclear waste.
