Fertile material
 scroll 
Non-fissionable material from which fissionable material
is generated by neutron absorption and subsequent nuclei conversions.
Fertile materials are thorium-232 which can be converted into fissionable
uranium-233, and uranium-238 which can be converted into fissionable
plutonium-239.
Th-232 + n -> Th-233 -> Pa-233 -> U-233
U-238 + n -> U-239 -> Np-239 -> Pu-239.
