One such proposal calls for a gas cooled fast reactor that is fueled primarily by Plutonium and Americium.

The neutronic properties of Americium make it difficult to use in any critical reactor because it tends to make the moderator temperature coefficient more positive, decreasing stability.

The inherent safety of an ADS, however, would allow Americium to be safely burned.

Americium ( Am ) is an artificial element, and thus a standard atomic mass cannot be given.
