Summary
Burnup is a measure of how much energy is extracted from nuclear fuel, expressed in terms of the
Amount of energy produced
per
Unit mass of fuel
, typically in
Gigawatt-days per metric ton of uranium
(GWd/MTU). It is a crucial factor in
Nuclear Reactor Operations
, influencing
Fuel Efficiency
,
Waste Management
, and
Safety considerations
.
