If the reproduction factor in a reactor is k = 1.1, find the number of generations needed
Question:
If the reproduction factor in a reactor is k = 1.1, find the number of generations needed for the power level to
(a) Double,
(b) Increase by a factor of 10, and
(c) Increase by a factor of 100. Find the time needed in each case if,
(d) There are no delayed neutrons, so the time between generations is 1 ms, and,
(e) There are delayed neutrons that make the average time between generations 100 ms.
