| Gameplay Information | |
Xenon-135 is an extremely radioactive and dangerous powder radioisotope of xenon responsible for poisoning nuclear reactors (specifically, the RBMK) when on low power. It is so radioactive that it is naturally pyrophoric. One tiny pile of xenon-135 gives 375 RADs per second.
Production
In an RBMK, when the fuel receives a low amount of neutrons/flux, xenon-135 begins to build up faster than it is burned away. If this poisoned fuel is recycled in a SILEX, a tiny pile of xenon-135 powder may be extracted, albeit at a low chance of 1%.
Uses
Tiny piles of xenon-135 can be compiled into one powder.
- It can be used to boost the for 600 ticks (30 seconds) using the powder, and 60 ticks (3 seconds) using the tiny pile.
Trivia
- Xenon is a gas in real life, not a solid.
- It was planned to be used in grenades to release it into the environment, giving nearby entities severe radiation poisoning and stalling RBMKs.
