neutron flux

Energy; Nuclear energy

A measure of the intensity of neutron radiation in neutrons/cm 2 -sec. It is the number of neutrons passing through 1 square centimeter of a given target in 1 second. Expressed as ...

net generation

Energy; Nuclear energy

The gross amount of electric energy produced by a generating station, minus the amount used to operate the station. Net generation is usually measured in watthours (Wh).

neutron capture

Energy; Nuclear energy

The reaction that occurs when a nucleus captures a neutron. The probability that a given material will capture a neutron is proportional to its neutron capture cross section and ...

neutron

Energy; Nuclear energy

An uncharged elementary particle, with a mass slightly greater than that of the proton, found in the nucleus of every atom heavier than hydrogen.

net summer capacity

Energy; Nuclear energy

The steady hourly output that generating equipment is expected to supply to system load, exclusive of auxiliary power, as demonstrated by measurements at the time of peak demand ...

net electric generation

Energy; Nuclear energy

The gross amount of electric energy produced by a generating station, minus the amount used to operate the station. Note: Electricity required for pumping at pumped-storage plants ...

net capacity factor

Energy; Nuclear energy

The ratio of the net electricity generated, for the time considered, to the energy that could have been generated at continuous full-power operation during the same period.
