The result, TerraPower’s supporters hope, is that countries would not need to enrich uranium in the quantities they do now, undercutting arguments that they have to have vast stores on hand for a civilian program.

Since so much uranium 238 is available, there would be no reason to use that plutonium, TerraPower says.
