fissionproduced
Fission-produced refers to materials or substances that are generated as a result of nuclear fission, a process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy. This process is typically initiated by the absorption of a neutron by a fissile material, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239. The fission reaction produces a variety of products, including fission fragments, neutrons, and gamma rays.
The fission fragments are the primary products of the fission process. These fragments are typically radioactive
Neutrons are also produced during the fission process. These neutrons can further induce fission in other fissile
Fission-produced materials are of significant interest in various fields, including nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, and environmental
The management and disposal of fission-produced materials are critical issues in nuclear science and engineering. The
