reactor.isotope.americium_241☢ Produced by over-breeding — usable. Americium-241 accrues deep in the actinide walk when bred plutonium is left cooking (Pu-240 → Pu-241 → Am-241 → Pu-238). Unlike the other byproducts it withdraws as ITSELF (not consolidated into Nuclear Waste) for its dedicated use.
