(nucleonics) A unit of reactivity; the reactivity of a reactor in niles is equal to 100(1-1/k), where k is the effective multiplication factor.


sub-atomic physics UK A nuclear reactivity of 10-2; hence a millinile = 10-5, i.e. the order of magnitude of the ratio of excess production constant to the effective production constant for a live nuclear reactor.

The millik is identically the millinile. See also dollar; inhour.
