Can someone explain to me the basic process involved in an approach to critical with a nuclear reactor. I understand that you basically start with the rods all the way in and bring them out, while taking counts - waiting for them to stabilize. I understand with the penultimate method, you...

I am given a critical bare slab reactor 150cm thick (a0=150cm) consisting of a homogenous mixture of U235 and graphite. I am stuck on the part which asks me to calculate the critical atom dennsity. I have solved for the mass of the fuel in terms of the mass of the moderator. I would solve...

I would like to run it until the desired accuracy is satisfied (1.0E-6), I guess I am a bit unsure how to specify this. Should I get rid of that part completely and just let the DO loop run until the IF statement is satisfied or do I need to define n to be a certain value?

Ok, I have edited my code a bit and I am now getting 0.0000 consistantly out when I compile and run. That is much better than what I had before, but I am still confused at what might be wrong. Thanks in advance! WRITE(*,*) 'Please enter a number x:' READ(*,*) x !enter do loop for menu...

Homework Statement I have an assignment to write a program for calculating the sine (and various other functions) using the method of truncated infinite series using DO statements. The DO statement is supposed to run until the difference between the current and last iterations are less than...
