FRONTIER HELP - TRADE GOODS

RADIOACTIVES


"Radioactive materials for example Plutonium and Tritium. Note that this item has a negative trade value, in other words, you have to pay for someone to take it off your hands. Some make a living out of being paid to take this waste away and deliver it to reprocessing plants (ie, anywhere that has Radioactives as a major import). More unscrupulous and irresponsible characters will prefer to jettison it instead, risking prosecution. This is a highly illegal practice and locals are usually vehemently opposed to this act. Police often don't bother with questions but deal with you there and then, as this not only saves on police time but court fees as well."

TYPICAL COST (MAJOR IMPORT): -3.4 CREDITS
TYPICAL COST (MINOR IMPORT): -3.9 CREDITS
TYPICAL COST (STANDARD RATE): -4.3 CREDITS
TYPICAL COST (MINOR EXPORT): -4.7 CREDITS
TYPICAL COST (MAJOR EXPORT): -5.2 CREDITS
TYPICAL COST (ILLEGAL): -8.3 CREDITS


These items carry a negative price, so it is often profitable to buy some radioactives and dump them in outer space, especially if you have space free in the hold. It is also worth noticing that the "illegal" price is LESS than the price in places where radioactives are legal.
