Description

The prompt neutron decay constant α is measured with different loading by Rossi-α method. Relation formula between loading and α can be given. The critical mass is also given from the formula with prompt neutron decay constant αc at critical. The critical mass from formula with αc is in better agreement with one of extrapolation and interpolation
