What Does CMIR Stand For?

CMIR stands for Carter Maximum Incremental Reactivity

Carter Maximum Incremental Reactivity (CMIR) is a metric used in nuclear engineering to quantify the maximum additional reactivity that can be introduced to a nuclear reactor system through incremental changes in isotopic composition or operating conditions. CMIR helps assess reactor behavior and safety by providing insights into the potential for power fluctuations and the overall reactivity control within the reactor core.
