  "notes": "Not a natural uranium converter. Elektrostal converts uranium recovered from reprocessed spent fuel, which is chemically the same job on a feedstock the rest of the industry never handles, and which carries U-232 and U-236 that make it more radioactive and less reactive than natural uranium. Russia is the only country that does this at commercial scale, and it is why Russian fuel can contain material that has been through a reactor before.\n",
