1. Problem 4.17: An MSBR power plant produces 1,000 MWe at an overall efficiency of 40%. The breeding ratio for the reactor is 1.06, and the specific power is 2.5 MW per kilogram of 233 U. (a) Calculate the linear and exponential doubling times for this reactor. (b) What is the net production rate of 233 U in kg/year? (Ans.(a) to,lin = 5848 days, td,exp = 0.693 to,lin, (b) 62.4 kg/yr.]
