Breeding gain core regions only

Plant Total breeding gain Breeding gain (core regions only) 

Breeding gain is defined as BG= Wi(Ci-Di)/Fi Ci and Di - respectively rates of creation and destruction of atoms of i Wi - the worth of atoms of i, relative to atoms Fi - the total fission rate 

A total breeding gain 1.16 was ejq)erimentally defined at the time of reprocessing of the fuel evacuated from the plant. The fuel cycle, based on mixed oxide fuel and PUREX reprocessing, has been closed and the first fuel subassembly made with reprocessed plutonium was loaded in the reactor in January 1980
