A nuclear power plant supplying electrical power to a village uses a radioactive material of half life $T$ years as the fuel. The amount of fuel at the beginning is such that the total power requirement of the village is $12.5 \%$ of the electrical power available form the plant at that time. If the plant is able to meet the total power needs of the village for a maximum period of $n T$ years, then the value of $n$ is
