...could efficiently produce new fuel with compound interest. Moreover, the British announced, they are already operating a small, experimental "one-for-one" breeder reactor that produces one new neutron fuel for every neutron it consumes-well above the one-for-ten "reproduction rate" of U.S. breeder reactors. Named the Zephyr (for Zero Energy Fast Reactor), the new pile uses plutonium, produces little electric power, is designed solely as a steppingstone to self-sufficiency in atomic fuel...
