Uranium is a tricky element. As it comes from the mines, it contains only .7% of the active isotope U-235, whose atoms "fission" (split in two) with a big release of energy. Nearly all the rest is 11-238, an idle isotope which will not fission naturally, though its...
The AEC's new breeders, or converters, will lessen the waste, presumably by causing more neutrons to be absorbed byU-238. If the amount of plutonium or other nuclear fuel thus produced is larger than the U-235 consumed, the pile could continue in operation for a very long...

The accumulation of radioactive fission products as impurities in the uranium, for instance, will certainly cause trouble long before the action is complete. But the contaminated uranium could be purified and "recycled." The AEC did not say so, but there...
