To avoid a uranium "crunch," President Nixon has ordered development by the 1980s of a new type of reactor called the fast-breeder, a name derived from its unique capability: during the chain reaction, surplus neutrons from the atoms of U-235 in its core bombard a surrounding blanket of U-238, a much more plentiful but nonfissionable form of uranium, and transmute large amounts of it into plutonium. This fissionable byproduct can then...
