reactor physics calculations. More precise knowledge of certain nuclear data<br />

that play a more important role in plasma-core reactor schemes is required.<br />

A predominant new aspect is the intimate relationship between plasma physics<br />

and reactor physics. For typical plasma-core reactor conditions at 40000°K<br />

and 500 atm, more than 70% of the particles that account for this pressure<br />

are electrons. About 15% are U IV, as can be seen from Fig.' 11. Composition<br />

calculations have thus to be included in criticality calculation and their
