| Gameplay Information | |
Xenon-135 is an extremely radioactive and dangerous isotope 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 375RADs 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
Currently xenon-135 has no other uses than combining tiny piles into one powder.
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.
