Most wasteland-built weapons, such as the Wasteland Blaster and the Wasteland Zapper, are capable of causing a moderately deep third degree burn during its first several shots, and may subside to a modest second degree burn by total depletion of their rudimentary fusion source. The degree of damage varies based on the quality of the weapon, and the amount of remaining atomic material making up the strength of the reaction. Instead of firing bullets from a magazine, these weapons utilize the fusion reaction to induce an energy discharge that acts as a projectile. In the post-Flash wasteland, many scavengers have heavily modified conventional weapons to become energy weapons firing lasers, charged by fusion power sources. More wealthy factions such as the CDF and USCPF are still capable of utilizing fusion technology, as such factions are able to sustain the infrastructure and supply lines necessary for maintaining it.Ī portable power converter (center) and a portable generator (right) jury-rigged to Fort Viridian's fusion reactorįusion generation comes in several forms, including Fusion Cells, measuring 20.32cm (8in), and Fusion Rods, measuring 2.66m (5ft), which can be inserted into Fusion Generators and other specially designed power sources to generate power. Entities capable of taking advantage of nuclear fusion are rare, and the remaining technology itself is highly sought after. Despite its vast potential, the physical limitations of the expansion of fusion power meant that other fuel sources, including nuclear power plants generating power through fission and vehicles powered by oil and fossil fuel based fuels, continued to exist, although nuclear fusion was set to replace them prior to the Flash.įusion rods awaiting use in Goldfield's Storage Sectorīecause of the disorientation and destruction resulting from the Flash, much of the relevant knowledge and research was lost. By 2032, infrastructure in several major American cities such as Rockport, Florida and other foreign cities had begun to adapt to using fusion sources. Though it was never made available to the commercial market, the United States Government purchased fusion energy sources for both civilian and military purposes. While it was long sought after even before the events of the Third World War, nuclear fusion was perfected in 2027, revolutionizing the field of power production on a worldwide scale. Much less volatile than its opposite, nuclear fission, the fusion reaction can be contained within a small vessel and can be powered by common elements, most commonly an isotope of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to produce different nuclei and subatomic particles in order to generate byproducts from the difference in mass that can be harnessed as a source of energy.
