Question?
Why are there many resonance for uranium and not for hydrogen ?
Because,
there are many (meta-stable) energy levels of compound nucleus for uranium,
similar to excitation energy levels of electron for atom.

Question?
Why is a threshold energy observed only for
238
U fission, not for
235
U and
239
Pu fission?
Because,
fission barrier is to deform the compound nucleus, and even number of neutron and
proton in compound nucleus tends to cause deformation (fission).

238
U needs extra energy from incident neutron (1MeV) to cause fission.

Fission Reaction : neutron energy
Average kinetic energy of emitted neutrons is 2 [MeV].
Fission reaction is likely to occur at thermal energy range (ex. LWR).
thermal means neutron energy is in equilibrium state with material thermal motion.
0.025 [eV] is used as representative of thermal energy.

Question?
What is the best material to moderate neutrons ?
Moderation of fission neutrons & reflection of neutrons are caused by scattering reaction.
Resonance shape of elastic scattering is not symmetrical in energy
due to quantum interference effect in scattering.
17 Copyright 2011 Japanese University Network All Rights Reserved
Question?
What is the best material to moderate neutrons ?
Moderating power depends on its mass of target nucleus,
neutron can stop by one collision with proton (

Question?
How to get criticality from sub-critical reactor ?
(there are several approaches towards criticality)
Sub-criticality will be caused by
a) small amount of fuel material
b) large amount of control material
c) small amount of reflector material
Approach to criticality is done by
a) increasing fuel material
(# of fuel assembly, )
b) withdrawal of control rod,
dilution of boric acid density
c) increasing water level
(mainly used in critical experiment facility)
with careful CPS measurements of several chambers.

Because,
stronger thermal motion causes larger deviation of incident
neutron energy at resonance energy.

Doppler broadening causes the change of XS,
reactivity change known as doppler feedback.
Doppler feedback is inherent and instantaneous reactivity feedback of nuclear fuel.

Neutron Generation Time
How fast the power changes ? depends on the time of one generation.
average time that one fission neutron causes subsequent another fission
is called as neutron generation time 1x10
-4
[s] in LWR
Question ?
Positive reactivity is added to critical core so as to be k
eff
= 1.0001.
What is power increase rate in one second by above N. generation time?
k
eff
shows the multiplication ratio in one generation 1x10
-4
[sec].
Power increase rate in one second is evaluated as (1.0001)
10000
.

This value is almost equivalent to

x

/ 1

) 1 ( lim +

... 718 . 2 , e =
However, the rate is about 1.001 for k
eff
= 1.0001 in real reactor.
because of the existence of delayed neutrons.
Un-controllable !

Prompt & Delayed Neutrons
Prompt neutron : released just after fission
Fission Fragment
neutron
Production yield of delayed N () to total # of fission N is small 0.6% (
235
U),
T
1/2
s are from 0.1[sec] to 55[sec] (usually lumped into 6 groups) .
Delayed neutron is released from radioactive decay of some FFs (called as precursor)
such as
8792
Br
35
,
137141
I
53
(neutron rich isotope).
Delayed neutron
Precursor
This slower neutron emission brings longer effective generation time 0.1[sec],
power increase rate becomes (1.0001)
10
1.001.
Delayed neutron is very important to control reactor.

Question ?
What happen when Control Rod is approaching to bare critical reactor ?
Answer
Critical reactor becomes supercritical, not subcritical.
( very dangerous situation will be caused )
reactor
k
eff
= p f P
F
P
T

Because,
There is no materials to have zero scattering XS, which reflects back leaked neutron
to reactor. Approaching of CR to bare reactor increases k
eff
by increasing P
F
, P
T
.


Bare reactor is very sensitive to the surroundings: fat man effect.
You should keep in mind especially to perform critical experiments.
