In a fission reactor, you need tons of Pu239 and/or U235 to make the reactor critical.
Again in this case, all the bulk of the fiscal material is involved in the nuclear reaction; tons of it. This latest example is going in the wrong direction to support your case, from pounds of material to tons needed to go critical.
