well I'll reword it then, find the thermal yield so i can find the thermal decay and in the end calculate how much electricity it produces and as for where the thread belongs, it in-fact belongs in both places because it couples both physics and engineering together.

Assuming a Light Water Reactor, what would be the decay energy of the fission products of the reactor's nuclear waste and it's thermal yield? What I am getting at is that instead of just storing the waste, i want to know how much electricity the waste emits. I have very little information...

Assuming a Light Water Reactor, what would be the decay energy of the fission products taken out of a reactor (the reactor's nuclear waste) and it's thermal yield? What I am getting at is, there is all this talk of safe storage of nuclear waste...but that nuclear waste is still emitting...

Yes that helps, I figured it had to be something like that but I had no clue where to look, I figured as for simplistically and efficiency I should just run the executable within the C++ program, b/c well my next task after I write this piece of serial code...is to parallelize the loop and I...

I hope someone out there can help me out on this one. I have intermediate C++ experience, just a working level knowledge, however my prof. threw me a project to work on and where I am at now I have no experience with. So this is what's up, I have a massive fortran 77 program...that does some...
