I'm SURE that NNSA and MIT have / had that data.
First, the primary author of the presentation I cited above is Benoit Forget; as in Professor Benoit Forget of the MIT Department of Nuclear Engineering.
So MIT certainly has that data.
Additionally, the presentation cites the Proliferation Metric that was reviewed by Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories.
Since NNSA is the administrative parent to both Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore; I'm sure that NNSA also had that data.
So, MIT, Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, NNSA, and DOE all agree; and agree with Argonne on the ability to design Proliferation Resistant Fast Breeder Reactors.
The only "odd man out" of this is you; and Lord only knows what NNSA or DOE reports you were reading and didn't understand that led you to the WRONG conclusions.
That's why it is good to have training / understanding of the science when reading any technical reports from NNSA or DOE.
Your scientific training was at what University again? Oh - I forgot...
Everything's explained. Case Closed

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe ( or understand ) in it.
