    Moderation of Fast moving thermal neutron

    If a fast moving thermal neutron can be slowed down to increase absorption chances, is there a way it can be brought a halt? If yes, what will be the behavior of such neutron?(Apart from a simple fact that reaction comes to a halt)

    Gravity and Supernova - My understanding

    My understanding of Gravity Gravity is a force which is acting on all celestial bodies and exerting pressure on them from all directions (Ex.1 Like water exerts pressure on a submarine when dives) Stars when loose their fuel can't withstand this force and shrink and shrink where they can't...

    100MW reactor must produce a 110MW

    Can anyone tell me what's the meltdown threshold of a reactor. Or at least a link to refer this subject.

    100MW reactor must produce a 110MW

    Thank you very much sir, I was confused when Devils answered me, but again thought he might have a point there. My brother's answer was the same though ruled out a meltdown because reactor officer will warn the captain about it but faster degradation of fuel is obvious. Thank you again Sir.

    100MW reactor must produce a 110MW

    Devils, My brother is an officer on board a nuclear submarine and he says that actually is a possible thing! Can you explain me how is that not possible in a nuclear reactor's case?

    100MW reactor must produce a 110MW

    Watched a scene from a Hollywood movie where the Captain of a Nuclear submarine asks his Reactor officer to give him a 110% of his reactor. That means a 100MW reactor must produce a 110MW. How is that increased? Is that simply by pulling off control rods or is there any other way? Whats the...

    Welcome Physics Lovers! Ask Your Questions About Electron Spin

    Hello Physics Lovers, I was working and suddenly got this question. What external forces have effects on electron spin, like slowing down/speeding up? Is that a possible thing in the first place?

    Where is the center of the universe?

    I need one more explanation. I think by this question our friend wants to know the location of Big Bang.. If that.. Do we have any clues as of now?

    Conversion of Electrons into Neutrons

    Little too complex for me at this time as i studied about shells long back(11 years ago). Please suggest further reading that will help me to understand the very basics of particle behavior.
