Radioactive Contaminants are a "Germ" designed to represent the effects of nuclear processes on materials. Contaminates can only be created by a Research Reactor, the Radbolt Engine, or a Radbolts passing through a medium.
Contaminated materials will release Radiation at the rate of 1 Rad per Cycle per 1000 Contaminants.
Contaminants have a half life of 1 Cycle which cannot be affected by environmental factors or the material they're attached to.
Contaminants do not cause any disease directly but the ongoing radiation exposure can cause Radiation Sickness.
Codex Entry[]
“ | Duplicants who are exposed to Radioactive Contaminants will need to wear protection or they risk coming down with Radiation Sickness.
Some Duplicants will have more of a natural resistance to radiation but prolonged exposure to radioactive contaminants will still increase their chances of becoming sick. Consuming Iodine Supplements and Seafood will pro-actively increase a Duplicant's radiation resistance, but will not cure a Duplicant's Radiation Sickness once they have become infected. |
