How to calculate an atomic bomb's critical mass

Support the channel: https://ko-fi.com/jkzero Step-by-step guide on how to derive and solve the neutron diffusion equation to determine the critical mass of an atomic bomb, following the steps of Rudolf Peierls and Otto Fritsch. It involves solving a partial differential equation but every step is presented. In the end a general formula for a nuclear critical mass is found.
