Calculating Neutron Absorption Distance and Neutrino Flux from a Nuclear Power Plant

 1. Using Equation 4.4, show that d represents the mean distance neutrons travel before being absorbed.

25. If you were located 100 km from a 1 GW nuclear power plant, what would the neutrino flux be at your location? Assume that a 1 GW nuclear power plant releases 1021 neutrinos per second and you present a 1 m2 surface to the neutrino flux.
