Q (1) IN THIS LAB, WE DETERMINED THE CRITICAL POSITION OF THE REGULATING CONTROL ROD,WITH THE OTHER THREE CONTROL RODS 50% WITHDRAWN. WHAT IF WE WERE INTERESTED, INSTED, IN THE CRITICAL POSITIONS BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE REG ROD? EXPLAINQ(2) ESTIMATE THE NUMBE OF THE GENERATIONS REQUIRED FOR THE TOTAL NEUTRON POPULATION TO REACH 95% OF IT’S ASYMPTOTIC VALUE FOR K(eff)= 0.8, 0.99 AND 0.999Q(3) IN MANY NUCLEAR REACTORS, THE MULTIPLICATION FACTOR IS ADJUSTED BY INSERTING OR REMOVING A STRONG NEUTRON ABSORBING MATERIAL (e.g. control rods). what other mechanisms could be used to adjust the multiplication factor of a reactor?Q(4) Most conventional nuclear reactor use ( 235 U ) for fuel, and are what we would call “burners”- they use the fuel until it can no longer keep the reactor critical. However, there are reactors called “breeders”- how are these reactors different from “burners”? what fuels do they use?
