Homework Statement


How do you calculate the rate at which atoms of a fission product are being produced directly if you are only given the thermal neutron flux and the radionuclide's fission yield% ?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I know the # of atoms of 235U but I am stuck
 
Physics news on Phys.org
can you relate the neutron flux to the production rate of neutrons & then the fission products production rate?
