Question

if each fission reaction in a nuclear reactor emits three neutrons, how many neutrons are produced from three fission reactions?
○ one
○ three
○ six
○ nine

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of neutrons per fission and number of fissions

Each fission reaction emits 3 neutrons, and there are 3 fission reactions.

Step2: Calculate total neutrons

To find the total number of neutrons, we multiply the number of neutrons per fission by the number of fissions. So, the calculation is \( 3\times3 = 9 \).

Answer:

nine (corresponding to the option "nine")
