Noticed that the nuclear waste (which is pretty scarce) you can raid from USCM based is utterly useless except for decor. It could work as ship fuel, or, maybe something else, i don't know. Anyways , just an idea.
perhaps you could use it at a special crafting station to craft a nuclear device, though that will require the user to be very advanced in the game
The item is just a decoration piece at the moment; they'd have to incorporate it into some proper gameplay cycle for it to be useful for something like fuel.
