Multiplication Factor

The "Multiplication Factor" is a dimensionless physical quantity in nuclear reactor physics that represents the ratio of the number of neutrons produced by fission in one generation to the number of neutrons lost through absorption or leakage in the preceding generation, thereby determining the criticality state of a nuclear chain reaction.
