Information Sources
Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.
Caution needs to be exercised in using the words fissile and fissionable.
U-238 is fissionable, and fast fission of U-238 delivers much of the power in three-stage fission-fusion-fission weapons. But it is not fissile, and contributes little to the power of a thermal or near-thermal power reactor (the PWR and BWR are not fully thermalised, owing to the competing need to reduce neutron losses).
U-235 and U-233 are fissile. Andrewa 17:01 20 Jun 2003 (UTC)
