High Burn Rate Calculation

At higher burn rates, additional coolant is required to be buffered in coolant pipes between the reactor and the boiler or turbine (if water cooled).

The theory is that at higher rates, at any given tick, less and less cooled coolant is present in the reactor. This mathematically becomes a problem for sodium cooling due to the higher heating rates.
