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» 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
