Slow or thermal neutrons have energy of the order or 0.025 eV

Fast neutrons have energies above 1000 eV

In a heterogeneous or solid fuel reactor, the fuel is mixed in a regular pattern within moderator

Fast reactor uses moderator

Uniform throughout

Pu₂₃₉

U₂₃₄ = 0.006%, U₂₃₅ = 0.712% and U₂₃₈ = 99.282%

U₂₃₄ = 99.282%, U₂₃₅ = 0.006% and U₂₃₈ = 0.712%

U₂₃₄ = 0.712%, U₂₃₅ = 0.006% and U₂₃₈ = 99.282%

U₂₃₄ = 0.006%, U₂₃₅ = 99.282% and U₂₃₈ = 0.712%

It requires highly enriched fuel

It requires liquid sodium metal as moderator

It produces more fuel than it consumes

All of these
