Uranium oxide is a resources mainly used for turning it over into nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.

Background

Uranium dioxide or uranium(IV) oxide (UO2), also known as urania or uranous oxide, is an oxide of uranium, and is a black, radioactive, crystalline powder that naturally occurs in the mineral uraninite. It is used in nuclear fuel rods in nuclear reactors. A mixture of uranium and plutonium dioxides is used as MOX fuel. Prior to 1960 it was used as yellow and black color in ceramic glazes and glass.

Gameplay

The raw resource uranium ore is delivered to the uranium processing plant. In the uranium processing plant workers and engineers turn the uranium ore into uranium oxide and they package it into barrels.

Production

Uranium oxide resource flow chart

To produce uranium oxide, uranium ore must be delivered to an uranium processing plant. The maximum daily production is 1.7t uraniumj oxide per uranium processing plant. The rate of production is 36t uranium ore for 1.7t uranium oxide.

Storage

Uranium oxide may be stored in both small and medium open storage buildings.

Transportation

They can be transported by using open-hull trucks, trains using open-hull cargo wagons, or by forklifts.
