Question
Chapter 8, Problem 5SC
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the fact that critical mass is an important factor is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Critical mass is the minimum amount of fissile material needed for carrying out a sustained nuclear chain reaction. It depends upon nuclear properties such as cross-section, density, purity, temperature and surroundings.
