Gold-198 is a highly radioactive radioisotope of gold. It is naturally pyrophoric due to its radioactivity and heat. Handling it safely requires an item such as Tungsten reachers.
Production
- The SILEX can extract Gold-198 from fallout, with only a 1% chance to be in each pile.
- It can also be extracted from spent highly enriched australium fuel and Flashgold fuel
- It can also be directly bred/irradiated from naturally occurring gold in an RBMK irradiation channel
Uses
- Liquidator medal, an armor mod that removes 10 RAD/s.
- As a billet, it can be used to make Flashgold, a highly fissile fuel used in RBMKs
- Self-charging Gold-198 battery, which produces 2.5 kHE / tick.
- It has an RTG pellet form, which produces 100 power per tick.
- If RTG decay is enabled, energy output will be increased to 200 HE / tick, however each will have a total lifespan of 194,400 ticks (≈2.7 real hours; with a stated in-game lifespan of four days and thirty minutes). This also means it will make 58,320,000 HE over its lifetime
- Pellets decay to mercury pellets.
Trivia
- Gold-198 decays into stable mercury due to β- decay.
- In the SL1 Accident, a worker's gold wedding ring was transmuted into Gold-198
