text: The value of the thermal utilization factor is given by the ratio of the number of thermal neutrons absorbed in the fuel ( all nuclides ) to the number of thermal neutrons absorbed in all the material that makes up the core.
text: Neutrons can be parasitically absorbed by fuel as they are slowing down in reactions that compete with fission.
text: As a result, an increase in temperature also widens the range of neutrons that can be absorbed inside the fuel.
