In a certain thermal reactor, fueled with partially enriched uranium, 13% of the fission neutrons are absorbed in resonances of 238-u and 3% leak out of the reactor, both while these neutrons are slowing down; 5% of the neutrons that slow down in the reactor subsequently leak out; of those slow neutrons that do not leak out, 82% are absorbed in fuel, 74% of these in 235-u.

(a) what is the multiplication factor of this reactor?

(b) what is the conversion ratio?

Ineed this now one scientist feels that the changes in global climatic patterns may be good for the health of the biosphere. another scientist feels that sharp changes in climatic patterns could result in the extinction of the biosphere. which of these is the most likely reason the two scientists gave conflicting opinions on the impact of changes in the global climatic pattern? they do not have enough knowledge on the topic. they did not discuss the issue among themselves. they believe conflicting opinion strengthens science. they study different areas of science and have different scientific focuses.
