The DD fission bomb one is so far beyond my capacity to understand that I'm not even sure what most of it means...

Yes, the tallow-wax was the settlement's only source of off-world trade. Which made it odd that the protagonist was musing about finding a way to produce it with tissue culture in a lab. That would throw all the monster hunters out of work. And if the tissue was stolen the planet would lose all it's off world income.

I'm reminded of Tallow-wax from the Jarvis's sea-monster in H. Beam Piper's novel _Four-Day Planet_. A long chain molecule that provides good radiation protection. (Probably all that hydrogen in the fats.)
