Reactor Grade Plutonium (RGPu) is a mixture of Pu-239 (2/3rds, 6 nuggets) and Pu-240 (1/3rd, 3 nuggets) isotopes. It is the natural product of raw plutonium enrichment, but it can be produced artificially as well through breeding or fuel reprocessing.

Production

Usually plutonium hexafluoride enrichment or as a major byproduct of uranium fuel recycling.

Can be recycled from Plutonium and MOX fuel.

Breeding Uranium in a Chicago Pile.

Mixing 6 Pu-239 and 3 Pu-240 nuggets on a crafting table.

Uses

Reactor grade Plutonium is usually used for Plutonium or MOX fuel production.

Use the SILEX to separate the Plutonium isotopes, which usually for weapons production.
