Homework Statement
In a reactor, we're making 56Mn by inducing thermal neutron capture.
2g sample of 55Mn is put into the reactor which has a flux of thermal neutrons of 3E13 neutrons/cm^2*s
Sample is in the reactor for 8 hours and then removed.
a. Calculate the amount and activity of...
Hello, I am asked to plot the activity of 137Cs in a 1Gw fission reactor over time of 100 years if the reactor is active from 0-20 years and shuts down at 20 years.
So here are the facts:
The reactor capacity is 1Gw
Reactor is active for the first 20 years then shuts down
At shutdown...
