Hi
I'm wondering what puts the limits to the burn-up of RBMK fuel. Is it the build up of fission products or the fuel simply running out of sufficient u-235 to sustain a chain reaction?
The average burn-up of RBMK is between 20 - 30 GWd/tU, http://www.neimagazine.com/journals/Power/NEI/September_2004/attachments/NEISept04p26-35.pdf .
