1. Consider a sphere of uranium with the following composition: "U 97.6 at% and U 2.4 at% (density 19.1 g/cm'); use the diffusion theory applying fast systems conditions to determine: a) critical radius of the sphere with vacuum boundary conditions; b) reflector saving when the sphere is surrounded by water (assume infinite reflector). Compare the results with those obtained using MCNP (turn in the code). Use the following data: Element Oc Of Str V 235 TJ 0.15 b 1.25 b 5.03 b 2.60 238 7 0.10 b 0.21 b 5.73 b 2.80 HO 0.13 b 16.68 b a) B2 = B.
