A measure of the consumption of fuel in a nuclear reactor
In nuclear power technology, burnup is a measure of the neutron irradiation of the fuel. It is normally quoted in megawatt days per ton (MWd/MTU), where ton refers to a metric ton of uranium metal or its equivalent
the amount of fuel used up (as in a nuclear reactor)
A measure of nuclear reactor fuel consumption expressed either as the percentage of fuel atoms that have undergone fission or as the amount of energy produced per unit weight of fuel
