Assume that the neutron life cycle begins with 8400 neutrons produced from thermal fissions. ... You may assume that the original number of fast neutrons is increased by 3% due to fast fission reactions and that 348 neutrons are lost to fast leakage.

A fast neutron will lose the greatest amount of energy during a scattering.
Explanation:
- Neutron moderators are a type of material in a nuclear reactor that work to slow down the fast neutrons (produced by splitting atoms in fissile compounds like uranium-235), to make them more effective in the fission chain reaction.
- Fast spectrums are those where the average neutron energy is over 400 k eV.
- Thermal are those where the average neutron energy is below 1 eV.
- If the energy is between those two, the spectrum is said to be epithermal.
- Neutrons with energies from 0 to 1000 eV (Electron Volt) are called slow neutrons.
- The neutrons with an average energy of about 0.025 eV in thermal equilibrium are called thermal neutrons.
- Neutrons with energies in the range between 0.5 MeV and 10 MeV are called fast neutrons.
