Six factor formula
text:
The six-factor formula is used in nuclear engineering to determine the multiplication of a nuclear chain reaction in a non-infinite medium. The symbols are defined as:
- ν, ν f and ν t are the average number of neutrons produced per fission in the medium.
- σ f F and σ a F are the microscopic fission and absorption cross sections for fuel, respectively.
- Σ a F and Σ a are the macroscopic absorption cross sections in fuel and in total, respectively.
- Σ f F is the macroscopic fission cro
