MIT 22.01 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation, Fall 2016 - 25. Review of All Nuclear Interactions and Problem Set 7 Help

MIT 22.01 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation, Fall 2016 Instructor: Michael Short View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/22-01F16 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61FVzAxBP09w2FMQgknTOqu Students' questions on the past month of material are taken and explained using more practical problem set questions. A numerical example of determining reactor criticality is shown using the AP-1000, and asking a simple question - 'Will It Blend?' In other words, we take the full, real specification sheet for the AP-1000, homogenize it (perfectly mix all materials into one uniform blob), and use criticality relations to determine if it would still work. Numerical integration using Microsoft Excel is shown as a way to take real cross section data from the OECD JANIS database and plug it into our analytical formulae to solve the problem.
