Plutonium Cells are one of the cell types found in GregTech 4.

Production

Plutonium Cells are a by-product of processing 4 piles of Uranium Dust in an Industrial Centrifuge. One of the products is a single Tiny Pile of Plutonium Dust, four of which can be combined to produce one Plutonium Dust. Compressing the resulting Plutonium Dust into a Plutonium Ingot, and placing the ingot into an Automatic Canning Machine with an Empty Cell produces one Plutonium Cell.

Plutonium cells can also be produced by adding a piece of UU-Matter to Uranium Dust, compressing the resulting Plutonium Dust and so on.

Uses

Plutonium cell is used in Nuclear Reactors to produce energy. Without proper cooling it will cause the reactor to go into a meltdown stage where it explodes, leaving a huge crater for you to fill in assuming you survive.

Plutonium Cells produce twice as much energy and heat as Uranium cells (making it 20 EU/heat per tick, 40 EU/heat if next to 1 other Plutonium Cell, 60 EU/heat if next to 2 other Plutonium Cells, etc.) and they last twice as long. (This behaviour can be customized inside the config files) This results power generation of 8-40 million EU per cycle (5 hours and 34 minutes real time).

As plutonium cells generate a lot of heat, managing reactors containing plutonium is a bit tricky as it's harder to maximise the energy potential of each cell while trying to keep the reactor running for as long as possible.
