A bare-spherical reactor 50 cm in radius is composed of a homogeneous mixture of 235 U and beryllium. The reactor operates at a power level of 50 thermal kilowatts. Using modified one-group theory, compute: (a) the critical mass of 235U; (b) the thermal flux throughout the reactor; (c) the leakage of neutrons from the reactor; (d) the rate of consumption of 235U.

Calculate the neutron flux and neutron current density at the midway (r-50 cm) of the reactor, respectively i tha mact commonlu used material inside a thermal nuclear reactor
Jezebel is a bare, fast, spherical shaped critical reactor made of pure 239Pu metal of density 15.4 gm/cmA3. Calculate the critical radius and critical mass of the reactor using the following 1- group data: v 2.98, ơF 1.85 barn, σ,-0.26 barn and σ,-6.8 barn. The fission rate density at the center of the reactor is 2.5 × 1011 fission/cm^3/s. Determine the flux equation for the reactor everywhere satisfying 0 < r s R. what is the flux at the center...
