GADS - Think about it!!!

You want to destroy the actinides. You don't need for the actinides to break even on energy.

You use the fissile isotopes to keep the reactor critical - but then those neutrons will transmute ALL the actinides.

What you are saying would be a problem if we attempted to run the reactor ONLY on transuranic actinides.

You don't need to do that; you use the fissile isotopes to do that.

It works like an incinerator. The incinerator runs on gas; but it burns combustible materials even if you couldn't sustain the fire with those materials alone.

You evidently don't know much about nuclear physic at all.

Your case isn't proven; you just demonstrated conclusively that your powers of reasoning couldn't figure out what is essentially the nuclear analog to how an incinerator works.

Evidently you also don't know that U-238 is "fissionable" because it fissions for neutrons above a threshold energy of about 1 MeV. Because it is a threshold reaction U-238 is not "fissile" but it is "fissionable"

I think intaglio has hoisted himself on his own petard and clearly demonstrated he doesn't know good science when he sees it
