This effort culminated in the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment that used 232 Th as the fertile material and 233 U as the fissile fuel.

Similar to uranium-fueled designs, the longer the fuel and fertile material remain in the reactor, the more of these undesirable elements build up.
13.
Given that authors, composers and Broadway producers have found fertile material in Legs Diamond, his legend will probably continue in future artistic works.
14.
The sensation novels of the 1860s and 1870s not only provided fertile material for melodramatic adaptations, but are melodramatic in their own right.

232 Th is a fertile material able to transmutation into the fissile nuclide uranium-233, which is the basis of the thorium fuel cycle.
16.
The image suggests fertile material for a remake of " Apocalypse Now " as directed by Larry Flynt _ ugly, absurdly and tragically ugly.
17.
The mind boggles at what the filmmaker could have done with this fertile material if he hadn't been so committed to slavishly copying Hitchcock.
18.
As long as there is any amount of a fertile material within the neutron flux of the reactor, some new fissile material is always created.
19.
Fast reactors use unmoderated fast neutrons to sustain the reaction and require the fuel to contain a higher concentration of fissile material relative to fertile material U-238.
20.
They are also capable of breeding fissile isotopes from fertile materials; a breeder reactor is one that generates more fissile material in this way than it consumes.
