Can a single transaction update two different TVs in an atomic way?
Yes, you can update several fuel assemblies atomically in one transaction. This is the point of view of STM. It would not be very helpful if you could not.
Can I create data structures from multiple TVAPs to reduce competition? If so, can you give an example?
