Calculate the reproduction factor for a reactor that uses $8\%$ enriched uranium fuel. The

absorption cross$-$section for U$-235$ is $694$ barns. The cross$-$section for U$-238$ is $2\mathrm{.}71$

barns. The fission cross$-$section for U$-235$ is $582$ barns. The atom density of $U-235$ is

$4\mathrm{.}83{10}^{21}$ atoms $\frac{?}{c{m}^3}.$ The atom density of $U-238$ is $4\mathrm{.}35{10}^{22}$ atoms $\frac{?}{c{m}^3}.$ The

average number of neutrons produced per thermal fission is $2\mathrm{.}42.$ Don't give AI Generated answer this time please.
