What makes nuka cola victory glow?

[ledrago882]

Because apparently how quantum glows is so important.

Probably whatever let's it keep its fizz after 200 years.

How come regular nuka cola doesnt glow then?

[casualsailor]

Nuka Cola Quantum contains Strontium-90. This is found out in a quest from FO3. I don't remember if it was mentioned before that.

I am going to guess that after the creation of Nuka Cola Quantum the Strontium-90 was also used with other formulas which led to the creation of Nuka Cola Quartz and Nuka Cola Victory.

Stabilized strontium-90.

Different isotopes... cesium, iodine,heavy water etc.

Nope. Nuka Cola Quartz and Nuka Cola Victory were invented and produced before Nuka Cola Quantum. According to Bradberton's PC, Nuka Cola Victory and Quartz use inferior radioactive isotopes and should have much higher half lives and thus should glow for shorter periods of time. However both of those sodas are still glowing 220+ years later so the chemicals used to produce a glow were apparently better than Bradberton was aware of.

The chemicals in Quartz and Victory are not only inferior in terms of having shorter half lives, but they also don't make your pee glow the same way that Quantum does.

then how is victory still glowing?

strontium 90 makes a blue glow though

Funny thing is, Sr90 has a half-life of 28.79 years (in real life, we know that FO4's nuclear physics are 'special'). All those glowing bottles of quantum should be about 1/166'th the power they were when bottled...

[ledrago882]

huh. neat.

Oh hell, that's easy to answer. It's because of all the electro-lites they have charged with electricity. They found if they use specifically 768watts, the soda will glow for around 24 hours and they figured if they mutilply the amount of charge, they can get it glow for years. Turns out 54,000watts was over kill, because the soda blew up (Critically injured the worker who discovered this, but she still happens to have one lung left and is still optimistic. She no longer wants to work for the Nuka-Cola plant. Sunset Sasperilla asked her if she wanted a cozy office job, but she declined and appreciated the offer and screamed when she saw a sasperilla bottle), and so they reduced to 24,355watts which lasted for... give or take... 200 to 300 years. On top of being electrically charged, as long as it is not open, it can have shelf life of 200-300 years; kills bacteria when open because it takes hours before fully discharging too while being delicate on human digestive system (Just don't drink more than 1 1/2). Their were reports that bottles that oddly, when discharged while still fully bottled, can create a formidable amount of force, so don't shake it unless you enjoy broken glass inserted into your face.

They should have done more testing.

well thanks for the clearing up.
