Which of the following is not, a fertile material ?
Correct answer: C. U-233
- A. Th-232
- B. U-238
- C. U-233
- D. None of these
Explanation
U-233 is fissile, so it can sustain a chain reaction with slow neutrons; it is not classified as fertile. Th-232 and U-238 are fertile because they can be converted into fissile nuclides after neutron capture.
