“…These bred fissile rise dramatically during the early stages of burnup due to increased production relative to loss, but throughout the middle of the burnup phase, the buildup becomes slower and gradually flattens 40 . More fission occurs by the bred fissile as the initial fissile depletes 41 . When the packing fraction is lower, as described in the preceding section, the burnup rate is higher.…”

“…40 More fission occurs by the bred fissile as the initial fissile depletes. 41 When the packing fraction is lower, as described in the preceding section, the burnup rate is higher. As a result, the newly generated fissile accumulation becomes increasingly saturated, and the flattening curve effect happens earlier.…”
