The half-life of a radioactive isotope represents the average time it would take half of a collection of this type of nucleus to decay. For example, you start with a sample of 1000 Oxygen-15 (15O) nuclei, which has a half-life of 122 seconds. After 122 seconds, half of the 15O nuclei will have decayed into Nitrogen-15 (15N) nuclei. After another 122s, half of the remaining Oxygen nuclei will have also decayed, and so on. Suppose you start with 4.00×103 15O...

Fission of 235U occurs when the nucleus absorbs a single neutron and decays to smaller nuclei, liberating additional neutrons in the process. Each of these neutrons stimulates fission of other 235U nuclei in the next cycle of the chain reaction. If the average number of neutrons produced in each fission event is 1.9, how many cycles of the chain reaction are required to consume 2.3 kg of 235U?
