Question: (a) Please show that the energy released in the n'th generation of a fission chain reaction initiated by one fission is given by E,
(a) Please show that the energy released in the n'th generation of a fission chain reaction initiated by one fission is given by E, = k" Eg. In the above equation, k is the multiplication factor and E, is the recoverable %3D energy per one fission. (b) Also show that the total cumulative energy (CE) released up to and including the n'th generation is given by k"+ -1 , ER . k 1 (c) Plot the E, as n for k=1.5 and k=0.95. Assume E, = 200MEV.
