To accomplish this, Burger had to get the owners' agreement to the arrangement. They were willing because their only alternatives were to keep the seized ship at anchor (at a cost of $1,000 to $2,000 a day), or put up bond equal to its value. As a result, Burger is now running so many...

But if the amount of plutonium produced is greater, the reaction will continue until all the U-238 has been turned into plutonium. The way to accomplish this scientific miracle (a fuel that breeds like rabbits) is to make a reactor that is extremely economical in neutrons. If more than one neutron from fissioning U-235 is available for turning U-238 into plutonium, the amount of fuel in the charge, instead of being consumed like coal...
