I have an idea for a Nuclear Power option:
Thunder Stone - Thorium and Rare Earth Mod:
viewtopic.php?f=94&t=23224
Unlike Uranium Thorium is abundant as Rare Earth element everywhere and so you do not need to find veins of the stuff on another continent. This means, you could make it part of the normal mining process of the other four solid resources you already mine. So no need to add yet ANOTHER resource. Make it just part of the mining process of Stone, for example. It would be a by-product of stone mining once you research the needed technologies to separate it.
Also, it is so easy-peasy to burn through in a nuclear fission reaction as a liquid Fluoride Salt. That means you won't need to put an entire chain of buildings that are for recycling or containment of Thorium by-products and radioactivate thrash.
