3. consider that breeder reactors are to be built using 233u (obtained from 232th) and 239pu, respectively. a. what is the maximum conversion ratio that could be achieved in principle with each fuel? (assume that the reactor consists of pure fuel and that no neutrons escape from it.) b. what factors cause real-world conversion ratios to be lower than the values you calculated in part a? c. explain why "reactor grade" plutonium is not desired for use in a weapon.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
