burnup's Usage Examples:

For spent nuclear fuel storage and transport, burnup credit may be used to allow fuel to be more closely packed, reducing space.

greater amount of plutonium-241 than the plutonium generated by the lower burnup operations designed to create weapons-grade plutonium.

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

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.

sodium-cooled, pool-type reactor with a 30-year design lifetime and a target burnup of 100 MWd/kg.

"3D core burnup studies in 500 MWe Indian prototype fast breeder reactor to attain enhanced core burnup".

The reactor, was used for burnup measurement of fissile samples from NRX.

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

material into usable fuel through nuclear transmutation, in tandem with the burnup of fissile material.
