Ghiorsium-336 is an exotic non-fissile and relatively stable radioisotope of ghiorsium. It is also the only isotope of that element currently in game.

Production

It is produced exclusively by recycling the long-lived nuclear waste byproduct from schrabidium fuels, or directly through recycling flashlead fuels.

Uses

It is non-fissile, so it can't be used as fuel, but since it is rather stable for such a heavy element, it can be used for heavy radiation shielding and armor inserts.

Trivia

• It is named after Albert Ghiorso, a very important figure in atomic science and element hunting.
  • Due to the name correlation, this fictional element is often erroneously conflated with oganesson (element 118), since element 118 was originally to be named "ghiorsium". NTM ghiorsium has no correlation with oganesson beyond this.
  • The tooltip is in reference to this, as "seaborgium" was named after Glenn T. Seaborg, another important person in element hunting, who got the element named after him by Ghiorso et al.
• Its atomic number is 128, despite not being mentioned in the game.
• No such element of 128 has been discovered yet.
• It is considered to be "deeper inside the island of stability" than Schrabidium, which is why ghiorsium-336 is more stable, despite being heavier.
• It is unknown if there will be more isotopes added beyond 336 in the future.
  • The original plan for ghiorsium headlined it as "the gate to the transschrabidics", involving a fertile and fissile isotope.
    • Ghiorsium-336 was supposed to be the fertile isotope, hence its stability.
    • Nothing came from the "transschrabidics" idea, so ghiorsium has limited uses.
