Uranium Zirconium Hydride
Appearance
This feature has significantly fewer uses/functions compared to its peers, because it was very recently added. Keep this in mind if you are planning on dedicating time and resources to producing it. |

Uranium Zirconium Hydride () is a radioactive chemical compound used exclusively as a nuclear fuel for the , with its defining feature being it's negative reactivity to heat.
Production
It is produced in the PUREX.
Usage
Uranium zirconium hydride is only used as an RBMK fuel. It has no other uses.
Trivia
- Uranium zirconium hydride's reactivity decreases with how hot it is, which is called a negative thermal coefficient. This makes it a very safe RBMK fuel.
