Hi all,
I am just a mechanical engineer with no good background of nuclear physics. As I am doing some research on how much each country can posses nuclear bomb. The question is if I know the reactor location (approximate) , type of reactor and its Rated power (MWe) with assumed plant capacity factor of (75% for power mode & 80% for weapon grade mode) how can I calculate Spent (Uranium) Fuel / Yr (Kg) and Fissile Plutonium
output / Yr (Kg)
thanks,
Diabolic
