MOX

>>>PERISHABLE<<<

A mixture of uranium oxide (UO2) and a small (<3%) portion of weapons-grade plutonium, MOX is the primary fuel for the nuclear reactors used aboard large spacecraft and the monstrous blast furnaces of manufacturing platforms. MOX is typically formed into ceramic pellets that are then loaded into zirconium fuel elements and packaged for transport. It is an efficient source of energy that utilizes a large percentage of recycled materials and exhibits only trace radiation, thus posing little threat to the environment.

Notes

1 unit of MOX takes up 1 unit of space in your cargo hold.

Due to game balance reasons, there are two versions of this commodity. They look identical to the player, but can be sold for different prices at different bases, which can be quite confusing. The availability for these two varieties are shown in different tables to help differentiate, so be aware that MOX bought from a base on the first list will not necessarily sell for the same price as MOX purchased from a base on the second list.
