InHour

InHour

InHour is a unit of activity of a nuclear reactor. It stands for the inverse of an hour. It is equal to the inverse of the period in hours. One InHour is the amount of reactivity needed to increase the reaction by a factor of e in one hour.

The unit is abbreviated ih or inhr. [ [http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/dictI.html Units: I ] ]
