Description

Conversion ratio is an important index as a term to indicate fuel source utilization. It was used to indicate breeding ratio in FBR and its definition was discussed in the paper. Studies for High Conversion Light Water Reactor have been started and the conversion ratio has been used as an index of fuel utilization. Its definition is not unique and there are some confusions among the papers. In this data the author tries to review various definitions of conversion ratio and clarify their physical meaning and its relation among the definitions. (author)

Abstract (Japanese)

転換比(あるいは率)の定義が文献により異なっており、議論をする上で不都合が感じられるので、少なくとも高転換型軽水炉を研究しているグループでは用語も含めて統一することが望ましい。そこで、転換比について調査し、その物理的意味を考察するとともに定義間の差異を明確にするため数値的比較を試みた。 (日本)
