 Предлагается новый замедлитель нейтронов –  радиогенный свинец на основе изотопа 208Pb с низким  сечением  поглощения нейтронов.  Использование  его  в  быстром  реакторе  позволит замедлить реакцию деления на мгновенных нейтронах. Это улучшит безопасность реактора. Радиогенный свинец с высоким содержанием 208Pb может быть добыт из ториевых и торий-урановых  руд,  что  подтверждают  исследования,  выполненные  в  Университете  Сан  Паулу (Бразилия).
