e/Fertile material

Information
has gloss	eng: Fertile material is a term used to describe nuclides which generally themselves do not undergo induced fission (fissionable by thermal neutrons) but from which fissile material is generated by neutron absorption and subsequent nuclei conversions. Fertile materials that occur naturally which can be converted into a fissile material by irradiation in a reactor include: thorium-232 which converts into uranium-233 uranium-234 which converts into uranium-235 uranium-238 which converts into plutonium-239 Artificial isotopes formed in the reactor which can be converted into fissile material by one neutron capture include: plutonium-238 which converts into plutonium-239 *plutonium-240 which converts into plutonium-241 Some other actinides need more than one neutron capture before arriving at an isotope which is both fissile and long-lived enough to probably be able to capture another neutron and fission instead of decaying.

Meaning
French
has gloss	fra: Un isotope fertile est un isotope qui peut produire un isotope fissile suite à la capture d'un neutron.
lexicalization	fra: Isotope Fertile
Italian
has gloss	ita: Sono indicati come nuclidi fertili o materiali fertili i nuclidi che, a seguito dell'assorbimento di un neutrone, si trasmutano in un radionuclide che decade in un nuclide che possa fornire energia da fissione o da fusione nucleare.
lexicalization	ita: Materiale fertile
