Plutonium is a heavy, radioactive, man-made, metallic element used in the production of nuclear energy.

In moving their hybrid from concept into production, the scientists hope to make nuclear energy a more viable alternative to coal and oil while waiting for renewables like solar and pure fusion to ramp up. “The hybrid we designed should …

Fast-breeder reactors, or FBRs, have often been billed as “dream reactors” because they produce more fuel than they consume, producing plutonium by burning the waste left by more conventional light-water reactors. …
