Question:
Assuming that neutrons are in thermal equilibrium with their surroundings, determine the most probable velocities at the temperature of 557°F.
Question 2
Determine keff when the reactivity is equal to -38.9 x 10-4 Δk/k.
Question 3
A new type of reactor is being tested. The number of neutrons in the core is 1500 at t = 0 seconds. Determine the number of neutrons after 135 generations assuming that keff = 1.0008.
Question 4
A test is being performed in a reactor. The reactor has a neutron source that produces 9.89 x 105 n/s. Determine the total neutron production rate in the reactor when keff = 0.991.
Question 5
The neutron monitoring system of a reactor indicates a count rate of 20 cps and the reactivity is -1500 pcm. Determine what the neutron level will be after a positive reactivity insertion of 800 pcm from the withdrawal of control rods.
