The neutron flux in a reactor is a measure of the intensity of neutron radiation in neutrons/cm2-sec. It is the number of neutrons passing through 1 square centimeter of a given target in 1 second. If n is defined as neutrons/cc, then the product nv where v = cm/sec, the mean neutron velocity, is the neutron flux, having these dimensions.

The operation of the reactor requires instruments to measure the neutron flux continuously, as this is the most sensitive and fast reacting parameter to indicate the reactor power level. Different types of neutron sensitive chambers can be used for high and low power conditions, but they must give an output signal proportional to nv, the neutron flux. Some types may give an output current, others may give a count rate which can be monitored by the right form of electronic kit.

What is the formula for calculating the intrinsic carrier concentration in a semiconductor material?

The formula for calculating the intrinsic carrier concentration in a semiconductor material is given by ni sqrt(Nc Nv exp(-Eg / (2 k T))), where ni is the intrinsic carrier concentration, Nc is the effective density of states in the conduction band, Nv is the effective density of states in the valence band, Eg is the band gap energy, k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.


How many experiment of Atom bomb in US?

Within the continental US there have been just short of 1000 nuclear detonations for various purposes, over 95% of these were within the Nevada Test Site just north of Las Vegas, NV. This does not include safety tests, plutonium dispersal tests, RaLa tests, etc. that produced no nuclear yield but were experiments required for bomb development.


Why was the atomic bomb tested in Nevada?

The atomic bomb was tested in Nevada because of its remote location and sparse population, which minimized the risk of harm to civilians. Additionally, the flat terrain and clear weather conditions in Nevada were ideal for monitoring the effects of the bomb test accurately.


When and where were nuclear bombs tested?

The US tested nuclear devices in the Trinity test site in NM, Bikini atoll in the Marshal islands, Eniwetok atoll in the Marshal islands, underwater offshore Mexico in international waters south of San Diego CA, the Nevada test site north of Las Vegas NV, in space, and for project Plowshare (peaceful uses of nuclear explosives) in about half a dozen other states.The USSR tested nuclear devices at 2 or 3 sites in Siberia and its largest fusion bomb tests were on the arctic island of Novaya Zemlya.The UK tested nuclear devices in Australia.France tested early nuclear devices in the Sahara desert while it still had colonies there, since then I'm not sure.
