A reactor is fueled with a homogeneous mixture of U-235 and
water with a fuel density of 0.10g/cm^3. The
reactor operates at 140°C. a) Calculate the
critical radius of the reactor if a spherical shape is used. b)
What is the critical mass (kg of U-235) of such a spherical
reactor? C) What is the critical mass (kg of U-235) of the same
material in a finite cylinder with a height to diameter ratio of
1.0? PLEASE SHOW HOW ITS DONE
CLEARLY I AM CONFUSED
