Critical Energy?
It's not specified whether or not U-233 is a thermal fuel, or what neutron energy is required to induce fission. This should be included with it if it's being used as a possible nuclear fuel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TV4Fun (talk • contribs) 17:13, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- U-233 is fissile, and by definition, "Fissile" nuclei are distinguished by their ability to sustain a chain reaction with low energy neutrons.

I linked thorium fuel cycle from the lead which explains this. --JWB (talk) 20:47, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
