A homogeneous thermal cylindrical reactor core is 4 ft diameter and 4 ft high. The extrapolation lengths in all directions are 0.5 ft. The maximum neutron flux is 10 ¹³ . Find the volumetric thermal source strength at a point 0.832 ft radial distance and 1.667 ft above the center of the core. The fissionable fuel density is 6 x 10 ²⁰ . The average moderator temperature is 500°F.
