One of the factors in the Four Factor and Six Factor equations - a Constant.

I think for Uranium 238 it was like 1.47 ????   Ratio of fast neutrons starting to slow down to Slow Neutrons remaining and available to fission.

Believe it or not, that is from memory and likely is totally wrong.

All this nuke stuff got me thinking of Avagadro's Constant, Hafnium, CRUD, Aristo slide rules. Don't ask or I'll have to kill you.
