Nuclear Material Locations

There are several ways to obtain this material:
  • Use an energy weapon (like a plasma rifle) – The bodies of your enemies have a higher chance to contain nuclear material when you do.
  • Kill certain enemies – The bodies of robots, glowing ghouls and suicide bomber super mutants are likely to have the component on them, no matter what you shoot them with.
  • Collect junk – Alarm clocks, Blast Radius board game, Biometric scanner, Recorder and the Radioactive gland are just some of the sources of nuclear waste.
  • Visit the Glowing Sea – The area in the far south-west of the map is heavily irradiated. Lots of radioactive items and radioactive enemies. If you can handle the radiation, it’s a good place to scavenge.
Sadly, we haven’t found a vendor who sells it, yet. If and when we do, we’ll update the guide with more info.

    I saw this earlier today while searching for the material. Low and behold 3 hours later I find a Vender That sells shipments of 25, if no one has found any yet. I do not know the requirements for it to pop up if any but I just bought some off Alexis Combes in Vault 81 for 2,526 caps.

          I think you need to complete the Hole in The Wall quest (where you find Curie and get the cure for Molerat Disease)
