Chain Reaction as a Self-Sustaining Threshold
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A fission chain reaction becomes self-sustaining once neutrons produced per fission equal or exceed those absorbed plus lost.
Show
Too little fissionable material lets neutrons escape before causing further fission, so the reaction dies out.
Watch for
Assuming any amount of fissionable material sustains a chain reaction ignores that criticality is a threshold set by amount, geometry, and neutron loss.
