B Protection from neutron fields

Click For Summary
Neutron fields, including reflectors, significantly impact reactor protection systems, with their weakening effects being a critical area of study. Research indicates that neutron attenuation is influenced by various materials and geometries surrounding the reactor. Clarification of the question is needed to provide more precise insights, as the original query lacks clarity. Effective shielding strategies are essential for ensuring safety in nuclear reactors. Understanding the relationship between neutron fields and reactor protection is vital for both academic and practical applications.

Thread 'Some confusion with the Binding Energy graph of atoms'
My question is about the following graph: I keep on reading that fusing atoms up until Fe-56 doesn’t cost energy and only releases binding energy. However, I understood that fusing atoms also require energy to overcome the positive charges of the protons. Where does that energy go after fusion? Does it go into the mass of the newly fused atom, escape as heat or is the released binding energy shown in the graph actually the net energy after subtracting the required fusion energy? I...
