4 Neutron interactions within nuclear power systems.
a) Explain with quantification the terms ‘thermal’ and ‘fast’ todescribe neutrons.
b) Describe fully three important neutron interactions in athermal nuclear power reactor.
c) Describe the range of materials in which these neutroninteractions occur and their function in a nuclear reactor.
d) Explain the criticality of the power generation process interms of these reactions and give a relevant equation withexplanation.
