Nuclear Reactor Criticality Calculator

Computes the neutron multiplication factor k-effective for a nuclear reactor using the six-factor formula. Used by nuclear engineers to determine whether a reactor core is critical, subcritical, or supercritical.

Reproduction Factor (η)

Thermal Utilization Factor (f)

Resonance Escape Probability (p)

Fast Fission Factor (ε)

Non-Leakage Probability (P_NL)
