A) \[1\]
B) \[1.5\]
C) \[2.1\]
D) \[2.5\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The multiplication factor \[(k)\] is an important reactor parameter and is the ratio of number of neutrons present at the beginning of a particular generation to the number present at the beginning of the next generation. It is a measure of the growth rate of the neutrons in the reactor. For\[k=1\], the operation of the reactor is said to be critical. Note: If \[k\] becomes greater than one, the reaction rate and the reactor power increase exponentially. Unless the factor \[k\] is brought down very close to unity, the reactor will become supercritical and can even explode.
