Article starts with mentioning 12% breeder efficiency whilst in fourth paragraph it is 16%. " It generated 590 MW of thermal power, and had a breeding ratio of 1.12 (12% more plutonium produced than consumed), but normally had to be stopped for refuelling operations every two months." "Phénix demonstrated a breeding ratio of 1.16,[6]" As the first 12% number is not referenced, most likely it is 16%. GerGroeneveld (talk) 09:17, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The actual production rate may be even higher as shown in [1] on page 334 (Barbe et all): 18~25% Phenix and 15%~19% for the Super Phenix. GerGroeneveld (talk) 15:11, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
