Ideally the neutron flux in reactor should be

A Maximum in centre and zero at side
B Maximum at side and zero in canter
C Uniform throughout
D Zero throughout

Correct Answer: Uniform throughout

Ideally the neutron flux in reactor should be Uniform throughout
Neutron flux is a total number of neutrons crossing a given surface per time unit.
The value of this flux depends on the spatial density of moving neutrons and on their speed.
