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

Each fission reaction emits 3 neutrons. So per fission, neutrons = 3.

Step2: Calculate neutrons for three fissions

We have 3 fission reactions. So total neutrons = number of fissions × neutrons per fission = \(3\times3 = 9\).

Answer:

D. nine (assuming the options are labeled with D for nine, as per the options: one, three, six, nine; the correct calculation gives 9)
