Fertile materials are substances capable of undergoing fission (splitting of atomic nuclei) to produce energy, as well as being capable of breeding or being converted into fissile materials (materials that can sustain a fission chain reaction). In nuclear physics and engineering, fertile materials can be transformed into fissile materials through neutron absorption and subsequent nuclear reactions.
