This integration is only correct if we assume neutrons are produce and move uniformly. Its better to not convert it to scalar format, am i right?

solid angle is a volume?

2pi = 360 which is enough.

Can Someone explain Why we integrate over 4\pi? What allows us to get rid of Omega?

What is the major problem in developing SCWR's nuclear reactor?

What is the name of the book?

What is a difference between NAI and Germanium detector in terms of accuracy?

Do fast reactors lower the amount of waste? since U238 fissions. but we only convert a little portion of the U238 to energy.

Delayed neutrons are very few in compare to prompt neutrons, but how could they be so effective in controlling the reactor. When neutrons fission, 2.47neutrons are released. most of those neutron are 95% prompt. By the time the delayed neutrons emission (few millisecond), the prompt neutrons...

I have heard that in some reactors by reducing the size of lattice pitch, one could reduce the positive reactivity. And it actually make sense because the neutrons that are born in the fuel, will have less moderation (since the lattice is small) and I assume that a little bit of moderation...

Does small lattice pitch make -reactivity?

I am actually interested in the balance of plant section :) I am studying thermodynamics and nothing is more interesting than learing how to do this calculation...

Ok, for example ap1000 produces 3030 MWth and 1000 MWe. I'd like to know how do we start from 3030 and produce 1000 MWe. I am aware of the fact that is Rankine Cycle and we reuse the steam from High pressure turbine to low pressure turbine. I am interested to know which formula to be used step...

Can you guide me through calculating actual nuclear plants efficiency?

I think pressure at the horizontal line is the same. I cannot picture the second question, therefore I don't know where the pressure is high in the tube.
