It is estimated that up to half of the power produced by a standard "non-breeder" reactor is produced by the fission of plutonium-239 produced in place, over the total life-cycle of a fuel load.
Det anslås at op til halvdelen af effekten som laves af en standard standard "non-breeder" reaktor produceres ved fission af plutonium-239 frembragt i reaktoren, over den totale livs-cyklus for en brændstofladning.
