Nuclear Criticality Safety Calculator

Estimates the criticality safety margin for fissile material configurations by computing an effective neutron multiplication proxy based on concentration, geometry, moderator ratio, reflector thickness, and temperature. Used by nuclear safety engineers to assess subcriticality margins.
