In nuclear power technology, burnup (also known as fuel utilization) is a measure of how much energy is extracted from a primary nuclear fuel source. It...

company was formed by the merger of two separate companies: Burnup & Sims and Church & Tower. Burnup & Sims was the oldest of the two founding companies and...

time has become a less important metric in modern breeder-reactor design. "Burnup" is a measure of how much energy has been extracted from a given mass of...

water is supplied to the reactor as an emergency coolant. Depending on burnup, boric acid or another neutron poison will have to be added to emergency...

period of about 15 hours. A local variation of neutron flux causes increased burnup of 135Xe and production of 135I, depletion of 135Xe increases the reactivity...

(which makes up roughly a third of fission events over the course of normal burnup in modern human-made light water reactors), then fission product yields...

Burnup (21 November 1875 – 5 April 1960) was an English amateur sportsman who played cricket and football around the turn of the 20th century. Burnup...

of enriched uranium fuel to compensate. This change resulted in a higher burnup of 18,000 MWt-days per tonne of fuel, enabling less frequent refuelling...

020 tonnes per bundle) × 86400 seconds/day = 1.3×1013 J of burnup energy. Electricity = burnup × ~29% efficiency = 3.8×1012 J Calculated: 4.2×109 J/ton...

rods that have been irradiated a very short time as measured in MW-day/ton burnup. Such low irradiation times limit the amount of additional neutron capture...

low enriched uranium fuel of civilian reactors. In contrast to the low burnup of weeks or months that is commonly required to produce weapons-grade plutonium...

2 1D –3 2He reaction is optimized at a much higher temperature, so the burnup at the optimum 2 1D –2 1D temperature may be low. Therefore, it seems reasonable...
