What is done to prevent neutrons from making a sphere supercritical before it is greatly compressed
Is there some kind of material layering technique to prevent “pre-supercriticality” in a sphere of U/Pu? Also, does the Gallium-Pu alloying have much of an effect on the speed of achieving criticality?
