AbstractAbstract
[en] It is not universally understood that keff and fractional critical mass are related in a non linear fashion. For example, a neutronic system with a keff = 0. 95 is NOT at 95% of its critical mass. What is striking is just how non-linear the relationship between keff and critical mass really is. This relationship is investigated and documented below for both unfavorable (i.e., very reactive) and favorable (less reactive) geometries. The implications of this non-linearity for criticality safety regulation will also be discussed
