Plutonium

From Isotopes to Reaction Rates and Fuel Creation Methods

In this groundbreaking text, Ronald Legarski, Yash Patel, and Zoltan Csernus, co-founders of Adaptive Energy Systems, illuminate the vital role of plutonium in the clean energy transition. With climate goals demanding reliable, scalable, and sustainable energy, this book makes a compelling scientific and policy case for plutonium’s reemergence as a core nuclear fuel. The authors explore isotopic dynamics, fuel creation science, and next-generation reactor integration, supported by extensive data on elemental interaction, fission energy yield, and neutron economy. Designed for energy strategists, policymakers, and system architects, this is a critical guide for those building the nuclear backbone of tomorrow.
