Abstract:Np, Am, and Cm transmutation efficiency parameters, taking account of the neutron reaction rates on all transuranium isotopes in all transformation chains initiated by introducing Np, Am, and Cm, are proposed for specialized transmutation facilities. These parameters can be helpful when comparing the efficiencies of different types of transmutation facilities and analyzing possible ways to increase the Np, Am, and Cm transmutation efficiency. The efficacy of including the parameters in the definition of transm… Show more
