The nuclei ^{241}Am and ^{243}Am are important in the nuclear wastes and could be completely removed from the used fuel and then burnt through the incineration with fast neutrons.
Lastly the measurement of the cross-section for 241Am(n,f) reaction depends on the availability of the target that is very radioactive and delicate in usage.
