Fuel Cycle Physics

Fuel Cycle Physics is a branch of nuclear reactor physics that specifically addresses the physical principles and processes governing the creation, utilization, and recycling of nuclear fuel within a reactor system, distinguishing it from broader reactor dynamics by focusing on neutron economy, breeding ratios, transmutation, and isotopic evolution over the fuel's lifetime.
