Lesser Australium (Tasmanite) is an isotope of Australium. Like it, it is fully stable and emits no radiation,
despite being fissile and self-igniting.
Production
Tasmanite makes up ~83.3% of Australium and can only be extracted with a SILEX.
Uses
Tasmanite is used to make strong but "safe" Low Enriched Australium Fuel for the RBMK, as its function is quite predictable.
Trivia
- Given its only fission products are stable Lead and Lead-209 (which is also quite unusual), we can estimate its atomic mass to be ~416.
- This is a mass difference of ~±21 compared to Greater Australium. Given this and the wildly different melting points of the two, it is possible they're actually different elements entirely.
