On the 5th of October we were given some review class for the upcoming test on the 11th. Some tips were also given. I'm listing them down for the reference of students in nuclear class. The tips are as below:
1. Remember the definition of k and ρ and the condition for criticality. ( i.e. k>0, ρ<0)
2. Example from extra handouts 9 is important, example foe case 1 is very important.
3. What is positive reactivity, negative reactivity.
4. Calculation for ξ when A>10 or A<10 .
5. Neutron life cycle calculation.
6. Definition of reactivity.
7. Remember formula for pcm (unit of reactivity)
8. 4 most important coefficients of reactivity.
9. Explanation on the graph for moderator region.
10. Fuel temperature coefficient (from slide number 66)
11.3 purposes of control rod (CR), SCRAM
12. Sketching of flux graph after insertion of CR
13. Definition of integral CR worth .
14. Burnable, non-burnable , soluble poison.
For question 2:
1. 3 forces acting on nucleus
2. Difference between them
3. Definition of isotopes ( iso=same, topes=proton)
4. Uranium isotopes & their abundance
5. Definition of mass defect & binding energy. (E=mc²)
6. How to derive 1amu = 931.5 Mev
7. 3 modes of radioactive decay.
8. Difference between radioactivity & radiation.
9. Definition of half life.
10. Secular equilibrium
11. Elastic & inelastic equation
12. Function of delay neutron (able to control the power)
