1. The Nuclear Reactor Theory
(Cutnell & Johnson, p971-972) We will use these equations to further are exploration of are reactor. ... We will begin by reviewing equations for the reactor which was as follows: Thermal neutron + U235 Ba141 + Kr92 +3 Fast neutrons + heat or Thermal neutron + U235 Xe140 + Sr94+2 Fast neutrons + heat. ... If the right side of the equation is larger than the left side, the number of neutrons will increase, which is called the supercritical state. If the right side of the equation is smaller than the left side, the number of neutrons will decrease, which is called the subcritical state. ... This...
