UxC Fuel Quantity & Cost Calculator

Enter the known quantity into the appropriate box below. Then press the Calculate button to display the equivalent volumes in the various units. Clicking in any other box will cause all boxes to clear. Pressing the Reset button will set all values back to the defaults. To calculate Component Volumes, type a value into one of the Component Volumes boxes and press Calculate. The calculation will be based on the first non-empty box.

Enrichment Equations
Feed to Product = (Xp - Xt) / (Xf - Xt)
V(x) = ((2 * x) - 100) * Ln(x / (100 - x))
SWU to Product = (V(p) - V(t)) - FtoP * (V(f) - V(t)))

SWU: Separative Work Unit
EUP: Enriched Uranium Product
