What is Neutron Multiplication in Nuclear Fission about?

Thermal reactors can sustain fission chain reactions using low-enriched uranium or natural uranium as fuel. Over time, some uranium-238 is converted to plutonium-239 through neutron capture and beta decay, while fission of uranium-235 and plutonium-239 produces energy. Spent fuel discharged from thermal reactors contains unused uranium, transuranic actinides, and fission products that can be recycled to extract plutonium and produce new fuel.
