nuclear cross section - Great Lakes

Question

You are building a nuclear reactor. Answer some questions about safety concerns you must address, for 10 points each.

[10m] Accounting for this parameter in nuclear reactions is essential, as it is a variable that helps determine yield. This parameter, an effective area measured in barns, is the probability that a reaction will occur.

ANSWER: nuclear cross section [prompt on sigma]

[10e] Your safety preparations are crucial because of this phenomenon, which consists of waves and particles that have enough energy to detach electrons. Geiger counters are often used to measure this phenomenon.

ANSWER: ionizing radiation

[10h] This SI unit quantifies the stochastic health risk of radiation exposure by converting the absorbed dose in grays into effective dose. One of these units is thought to predict a 5.5-percent probability of developing fatal cancer.

ANSWER: sieverts [prompt on Sv]
