Reactor Grade Americium 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 far quicker than the other rods.''

Reactor Grade Americium ZFB rods are breeder rods intended to produce more RG Americium quickly with an initial RG Americium 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 Reactor Grade Americium investment, 2 nuggets are the Plutonium-241 fuel and breeding targets.

Statistics
It has a flux function of: $$x/100*20$$

The function is considered dangerous and is of the "Linear" 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%.
