Neptunium-237 is a radioisotope added by NTM. It is mainly used in as a fuel material, either by itself or as an additive for schrabidium fuels.
Production
 | This page/section is lacking in some information and needs expanding. Click here to add more. |
- It can be made by breeding U-235 in a breeding reactor, or it can be found in a Desert Atom structure.
- It may also be made by smashing Lithium with natural Uranium in a Cyclotron.
Uses

- Schrabidium fuels and schrabidium energy storage.
- It can be turned into Pu-238 in the breeding reactor.
- It can be made into a pellet and used as fuel (rather weak, but cheap) for the Watz Power Plant.
- Medium and highly enriched neptunium fuel for the RBMK, which both run on fast neutrons.
- It can be used in the Custom Nuke. It contributes an impressive 30 (the highest of any ingot) to its nuclear stage.
Trivia
It only has one isotope, which is not specified, but considering it is produced from U-235 and is used to make Pu-238, it is most likely neptunium-237.- It was eventually fully confirmed to be neptunium-237.
- Its tooltip reads: "That one's my favorite!"
- If you have a Polaroid, it will read: "Woo, scary!"
- This particular comment is an unknown reference.
- This is simply because it's Bob's favorite element.
- If you have a Polaroid, it will read: "Woo, scary!"
- Its usage in the custom nuke relates to the fact that it actually can be used in nuclear weapons, just nobody uses it for that use IRL because there is little advantage compared to alternatives.
- Looks like neptunium loves schrabidium even more than beryllium does.
