Generalized trajectories that characterize the fuel inventories of fusion-fission symbionts are derived and analyzed. The resultant formulations are based on physically relevant processes and lead to mathematically tractable expressions. By analytical/numerical test and a specific comparison, it is concluded that this formulation leads to more exact fissile and fusile fuel characterizations than are possible with conventional procedures.
