In a nuclear reactor, neutrons released by nuclear fission must be slowed down before they can trigger additional reactions in other nuclei
In a nuclear reactor, neutrons released by nuclear fission must be slowed down before they can trigger additional reactions in other nuclei. To see what sort of material is most effective in slowing (or moderating) a neutron, calculate the ratio of a neutron's final kinetic energy to its initial kinetic energy, Kf/Ki , for a head-on elastic collision with each of the following stationary target particles. (Note: The mass of a neutron is , where the atomic mass unit, m=1.009u...

EXAMPLE 8.11 MODERATING FISSION NEUTRONS IN A NUCLEAR REACTOR LUTION The fission of uranium nuclei in a nuclear reactor produces high- speed neutrons. Before such neutrons can efficiently cause addi- tional fissions, they must be slowed down by collisions with nuclei in the moderator of the reactor. The first nuclear reactor (built in 1942 at the University of Chicago) used carbon (graphite) as the moderator. Suppose a neutron (mass 1.0 u) traveling at 26...

A neutron in a nuclear reactor makes an elastic, head-on collision with the nucleus of a carbon atom initially at rest. (a) What fraction of the neutron's kinetic energy is transferred to the carbon nucleus? (The mass of the carbon nucleus is about 12.0 times the mass of the neutron.) _______ (b) The initial kinetic energy of the neutron is 1.10 x 10-13 J. Find its final kinetic energy and the kinetic energy of the carbon nucleus after the collision. neutron _______ J carbon nucleus...

For example , if a nuclear fission reactor produces an average power of 1.0 GW over the year (10^9 W), what mass of U-235 has undergone fission in that time? Use the stat that on average 200 MeV energy is released per fission reaction. Please not that on average a mole of uranium (containing 6.023 × 1023 nuclei) has a mass of 235.043930 g

Moderators. Canadian nuclear reactors use heavy water moderators in which elastic collisions occur between the neutrons and deuterons of mass 2.0 u. (a) What is the speed of a neutron, expressed as a fraction of its original speed, after a head-on, elastic collision with a deuteron that is initially at rest? (b) What is its kinetic energy, expressed as a fraction of its original kinetic energy? (c) How many such successive collisions will reduce the speed of a neutron to...
