What happens to remainig neutrons after consumption of all the Uranium in uncontrolled Nuclear fission reaction?

Basically, there are two things that can ultimately happen to neutrons. Either they get absorbed into the nucleus of an atom, or they undergo radioactive decay. In a fission reactor, neutrons typically last only microseconds, with the life expectancy depending on conditions. A free neutron, outside the reactor, has a half life of 886 seconds, or a little less than fifteen minutes. During its lifetime, it could travel quite far, but the likelihood of a neutron getting out of the reactor is extremely small, so small that it is discounted as an event rare enough not to warrant concern.
- captured
- escapes
- triggers fission

∙ 14y agoYou are presumably thinking of a nuclear weapon detonation. In such a case the surplus neutrons will be absorbed by other material in the vicinity producing isotopes which may be radioactive.

A free neutron can either escape to the outside; it can be absorbed by some nucleus; or it can decay.

Where is the only remainig gap in the pan American highway?
Colombia
What is the source of catechu?
Catechu is extract made from an acacia plant. It is made by boiling the wood and evaporating the remainig brew.
If the line on a graph is dotted the line is not part of the solition teue or false?
Yeah its not the part of the questions but the remainig part of the question depends on it
Where can you get the blue orb on Pokemon Ruby?
You can climb to the top of Mt. Pyre and stop team mamga from taking the blue/red orb. Get the remainig orb, and actually in Pokemon ruby is the red orb and sapphire is blue because it said in my Pokemon sapphire/ ruby.
What is the Difference between Re model and hybrid pi model?
There is not much difference between Re model and hybrid model. The only difference being hre(vi/vo) reverse voltage gain. The remainig parameters are comparable. hie=beta*re hfe=beta hoe=ro
Is it true that the Confederates captured a Union rifle factory and shipped it back into Confederate territory?
As for Harpers Ferry armory, the Union set it on fire. The Confederates extinguished the fire and were able to remove many of he rifle making equipment and shipped it south. Before giving up Harpers Ferry, they destroyed the remainig factory and railway.
Would it be better to get a gift card or a printable gift certificate?
It would definitely be better to get her a gift card because you can pick them up right at the store in which the gift card is valid for. A gift card can be used like a debit/credit card and if there is a remainig balance they gift card would be given back to the owner to use again. It is more convient and easy.
How do you remove front bumber off of a 1993 Twin turbo 300zx?
There are bolts behind the guards in both fenders, you need to remove the small parking lights (not the headlights) and there should be screws behind them also. Make sure to unbolt from the bottom of the bumper also (there is a bar running across the bottom that has several screws). I think that's all, if not, by then it will be easy to determine where the remainig bolt on points are.
Is NH4OH acidic neutral or basic?
NH4I + H2O --> NH4OH + H+ + I-HI being a strong acid, remains almost wholly ionised as H+ & I- ionNH4OH being a weak base so you have some more H+ left therefore it is acidic solution. (problem: NH4OH is not an exsisting compound, most of it will react with the strong acid H+ and the remainig will be fully ionized into NH4+)Added:(problem solved: not using NH4OH as it is annon-exsisting compound)NH4I will completely dissolve in ammonium and iodide ions:NH4I --> I- + NH4+of which I- is neutral and NH4+ is quite a weak acid (pKa = 9.25). (The molar standard solution of NH4I will have pH approx. 4.6)
What is the area and perimeter of a square whose diagnol has a length of 10 square root of 2?
To answer this you've got to see that a square can be told as two equal triangles joined, right? Ok, so, next, you use known ways to calculate remaining sides/angles/both of a triangle (for instance, if there are two angles with 30º each, the remainig will be 120º , so it gets a total of 180º, but that is not the exact purpose of this question, only of a step of it, so I won't go too far with it): So, each of the two triangles that form a square would have two angles of 45º each (forming one of 90º joined with the other triangle's). Then, if 1 side (lets say, side "c") has sqrt(10) of length, then each (lets say) "a" and "b" (remaining ones of the triangle) would have a lenght of about 2.236067977498. So, what do we know now? We know that each smaller side of the triangle has 2.236067977498, and that will correspond to the length of each of the square' s sides. So, for the perimeter: 2.236067977498x4=8.944271909992 For the area: 2.236067977498x2.236067977498=4.999999999991996234340004
How many diagonals in 50-gon?
for any polygon with 'n' number of sides, the number of diagonals will be n(n-3) / 2 if n is 50, no. of diagonals will be 50(50-3)/2 = 47*25 = 1175 how do you get it? take any polygon, say septagon i.e. with 7 sides if you take 1 vertice, remainig vertices will be 7-1 that is 6. there will be 2 consecutive vertices for any vertice, so here, this one has 2 consecutive vertices(its always like that) so the remaining vertices is 6-2 that is 4. remember : a diagonal connects non consecutive vertices so you know that from one vertice, there will be 4 diagonals. multiply it by the total no. of vertices(here 7) 4*7 = 28 now divide this by 2 (since 2 vertices share the same diagonal) therefore, 28/2 = 14 which is the no. of diagonals in a septagon. so for an n-gon, the number of diagonals will be n(n-3) / 2 hope it helps! p.s. i figured it out myself during math class. then i tried it on many polygons.
