No.... we will use the U235 in fission reactions which after undergoing a chain reaction gives Barium and Krypton and releases energy along with 3 neutrons, these neutrons are then captured by the U238( which are present in the fuel itself(enriched uranium still contains large amounts of U238)...

no.... 99.28% of uranium is U238 and is pretty harmless - .72% is U235 which is the enriched uranium and is actually used( even then in low quantity - highly enriched Uranium is also only about 10% U235) but this doesnt mean U238 is useless - it captures a neutron and then undergoes beta decay...

why would there be delays?? The technology demonstrator has already flown, only a little fine tuning is required and it will be ready for production.....
As for developing further on our own- not so easy- we tried that with the elta 2032 but the mmr is still not ready after so many years. Eft...
