Vedclass · Answer

(C) The nuclear force acting between proton-neutron $(p-n)$, proton-proton $(p-p)$, and neutron-neutron $(n-n)$ are approximately equal and charge independent. Therefore, statement $A$ is wrong.In a nuclear reactor, the neutron reproduction factor (often denoted as $k$) represents the ratio of the number of neutrons produced in one generation to the number of neutrons in the preceding generation. If $k > 1$, the chain reaction is supercritical and the fission rate increases exponentially (accelerating state). Therefore, statement $B$ is correct.
