The naturally occurring radioactive isotope 232Th does not make good fission fuel, because it has an even number of neutrons; however, it can be bred into a suitable fuel (much as 238U is bred into 239P ). Confirm that the final nucleus has an odd number of neutrons, making it a better fission fuel.
