Americium-241 undergoes fission to produce three neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with this sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 1.8 neutrons per fission event, which will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. remove a deflective shield surrounding the sample. remove absorbent material mixed in with the sample. compress the sample of americium-241.
Astream of surface water reaches a porous portion of sediment and seeps into the ground. this water eventually joins a large reservoir of water located beneath the earth's surface. the example above describes the interacting with the a. cryosphere; biosphere b. hydrosphere; biosphere c. hydrosphere; geosphere d. cryosphere; geosphere
