Hey there - just a few things about why this mod sometime deviates a little from realism, especially when it comes to fusion. First of all, He-4 does not yet have a use, but it will do, and a huge one at that - it will be needed for the superconductors in the particle accelerator. It will never be a fusion fuel, just like IRL, due to its incredibly high binding energy.

Free neutrons, like those in the mod, do decay after ~15 minutes to a proton, electron and antineutrino in real life, but in the mod neutrons will be assumed to be stable, as well as tritium. This is because I belive their radioactivity would just add another layer of unnecessary complexity to the mod.
