Its fuel is 4.75 kilograms (10.5 lbs.) of uranium 235, the nuclear explosive used in the first atomic bomb. Packed into 37 tubes of heat-resistant nickel alloy, the fuel is mixed with zirconium hydride, which acts as a moderator, slowing down the high-energy neutrons released by fissioning atoms...
