It is also important to use all of the transuranium actinides as fuel. I am writing a piece for my son to think about in his career on the wonderful properties of americium as a fuel, necessarily in the fast neutron spectrum. It will have as fertile nuclei once, twice or x times through uranium with thorium. It's a "breed and burn" "CANDLE" which Bill Gates company, Terrapower, has rebranded as a "Traveling Wave" reactor.
