Volatile Fulgurium Fuel Rods are fuel for the Nuclear Reactor or the Rapid Fissile Accelerator.
Acquisition
The Volatile Fulgurium Fuel Rod can only be crafted by an Engineer with the Hazardous Materials talent.
Function & Usage
Unlike other fuel rods, Volatile Fulgurium Fuel Rods will constantly inflict 
Radiation Sickness to nearby characters: 0.2/s within 2.5 meters, and 1/s within 1 meter. Wearing a 
PUCS is the ideal solution when handling them, as it grants immunity to Radiation Sickness. Other radiation protective gear include the various types of Diving Suits and the 
Hazmat Suit.
