Bismuth Zirconium Fast Breeder

''Zirconium Fast Breeders are a special kind of RBMK rod, not intended to produce heat, flux, or electricity, they are simply to more quickly produce the specified material using an initial investment of that material and a Zirconium binder. They deplete twice as fast than the other rods.''

Bismuth ZFB rods are breeder rods intended to produce more Bismuth quickly with an initial Bismuth investment. While technically able to produce enough flux and heat to be used as a fuel, that is not their purpose and they deplete very quickly.

Production
Half of the billet (3 nuggets) is made up of Zirconium binder, 1 nugget is the initial Bismuth investment, 1 nugget is the Plutonium-241 breeding target, and 1 nugget is natural Uranium fuel.

Statistics
It has a flux function of: $$\sqrt{x}*20/10$$

The function is considered medium danger and is of the "Square Root" type.

A Xenon-135 generation function of: $$x*0.5$$

And a Xenon burn function of: $$x^2*50$$

Bred
(To calculate with Xenon-135 poison, remove 1% from Zirconium and add 1% to Xe-135)

Zirconium does not interact with neutrons, so the proportion will always be 50% or 49%.
