How many neutrons are there in the hundredth generation if the fission process starts with N_(0)= 1000 neutrons and takes place in a medium with multiplication constant k=1.05?

Answer»

Solution :No. of nuclei in the first generation=No. of nuclei INITIALLY`=N_(0)`
`N_(0)` in the second generation`=N_(0)XX` multiplication factor `=N_(0).k`
`N_(0)` in the `3rd` generation `=N_(0).k.k=N_(0)k^(2)`
`N_(0)` in the nth generation `=N_(0)k^(N-1)`
SUBSTITUTION gives `1.25xx10^(5)` neutrons
