Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, a group of scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined the critical mass of neptunium- 237 is about 60 kg . The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a chain reaction. This element has a density of 19.5 g / cm^3 . What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass? | Numerade

The Los Alamos Neutron Science Center delivers its proton beam to five state-of-the-art experimental areas — a capability that makes the accelerator on the Pajarito Plateau unique among its peers.
