The geometric buckling is of great value in application to criticality problem and analysis of dynamic process of supercritical system in fast fission reactor.
Three decades ago French scientists discovered that parts of a uranium deposit then being mined in Gabon had long ago functioned as natural fission reactors.
The neutrons are created in a fission reactor, and slowed to incredibly low speeds by materials known as moderators.
A fission reactor works by maintaining a controlled nuclear chain reaction.
