Neutrons released by a fi ssion reaction must be slowed by

Chapter , Problem 23

(choose chapter or problem)

Neutrons released by a fi ssion reaction must be slowed by collisions with the moderator nuclei before the neutrons can cause further fi ssions. Suppose a 1.5-MeV neutron leaves each collision with 65% of its incident energy. How many collisions are required to reduce the neutrons energy to at least 0.040 eV, which is the energy of a thermal neutron?
