For comparison allow me to add chatGPT 5.5:
"Choose U-235 if the goal is safe, boring, practical electricity generation. Choose Pu-241 only if the goal is specifically to consume/recycle plutonium in a reactor designed and licensed for that fuel.
In brutal shorthand: Pu-241 is a better “fissile isotope” in some nuclear-physics ways, but U-235 is a much better reactor fuel in the real world."
If only I knew anything about nuclear reactors. But it sounds to me that the answer is also correct.
Am i the only one feeling my soul being emptied every time i read another "brutal shorthand" or "honest take"?
It's genuinely depressing.
Yeah, but the default is extreme yap mode. I prefer "in a sentence" or "rows, not paragraphs." "Brutal" sounds like bait from an influencer trying to sell me a $400 course about how 4AM workouts will make me a millionaire.
