Nuclear Physicist

Nuclear Physicist is a perk in Fallout 4.

Abilities

 * Once level 3 has been reached. It states that a fusion core can be used as grenades though they act more like mines. To use this feature, the player has to have no explosives selected in their inventory. To use the ability the player has to use the 'throw explosives/mine ability'. Once used the Fusion core will be ejected from behind the player. It will begin to beep and after approximately four seconds it will detonate. It will let off a nuclear explosion similar to a destroyed vehicle or a Mini nuke with the damage being similar.
 * This ability can be used accidentally easily as you only have to press the button and not hold it down. The ability can also be used incidentally when using Alt-tab as Alt is the default key used to activate the ability. When returning to the game and resuming, often there will be the Fusion core mine waiting which will catch players off guard. It is recommended you save prior to minimizing Fallout 4.
 * The ability can prove useful for escaping enemies.
 * This ability can also be used whilst use the jet pack feature on power armor. This can provide an excellent tactic (as well as entertaining) for dispatching large groups of enemies.
 * The ability can be used in succession and has no cool down. Depending on the players speed, the ability can be used 2-4 times every second providing there are fusion cores.
