ABSTRACT:
A system for determining whether a self-sustaining neutron chain reaction (i.e., criticality) may occur as each successive nuclear fuel element is added to a liquid-filled tank. This is accomplished by determining whether a multiplication factor, k, approaches unity after each element is added to the tank in accordance with the equation:
