Folks,
I was reading the Cacuci Handbook of Nuclear Engineering, and he defines two times the conversion rate, once as:
C= fissile produced/fissile consumed
but later as :
C= transuranic produced/transuranic consumed
and said that the breeding rate is the former but for fissile.
Anyone knows which is the correct unequivocal name for the rate of an actinide burner? It has a rate for fissile and another for transuranic how I should call them?
Thanks,
Hernán
