Radioactive Compounds

Description
Radioactive potassium-40 that is made from harvesting bananas (added from another mod or added in destroy) and then putting them into a sieve. You have a chance to get potassium-40 (or "irradiated potassium") which is radioactive. Also, you can get uranium from crushing granite, like you do it in real life and thorium from sifting sand.
Uranium and thorium also have a chance to be obtained by sifting coal infused beetroot ashes. If uranium or thorium is placed in a vat, slowly radon gets synthesized. With radon, you can make a radon lamp, which has to be refilled every 20 days. If those materials are held for too long enough, you can get the irradiated effect, which over some time, gives you the cancer awareness effect. Potassium-40 can be used to make potassium ions, uranium can be used to replace the zeolite catalyst and speed up a process, and thorium can be used to make blocks emit light. Both uranium and thorium can be used to make a blaze burner seethe for 10 minutes. Of course the whole idea of the radioactive compounds is to destroy. So i wanted nuclear bombs.
Problem This Addresses
It would solve the problem with slow reactions, and it would give coal infused beetroot ashes a use. And it also will focus a bit more on the destruction-side of Destroy. And I think that if you would do the nuclear bomb, there would be a bit of a purpose to even do all of the chemistry. The argument "Why would I make those complicated explosives with chemistry when I just can make TNT with gunpowder", would be worthless after the addition of the bomb. It would give the radiation-pollution a use aswell.

Pretty sure nuclear stuff is confirmed to be in development? Not 100% sure tho, this sounds rad (pun intended)
No plans stated for proper nuclear stuff, and I doubt it's anywhere near the top of the list
Would be interesting to see a create nuclear-themed mod (if petrol doesn't take their hand to it) with Destroy's touch (isotopes, heat, pressure, realism ect)
It's not in development, though I had it planned at one point. If I do add it, it will be focused mainly on fuel processing, as there are other mods that can handle making the reactors (and bombs) themselves, and there are other things I'd like to do before making nuclear reactors.
