jänniteriskin
Jänniteriskin refers to the risk associated with the production, handling, and disposal of materials containing fissile isotopes, particularly in the context of nuclear energy and weapons. These materials, such as uranium-235 and plutonium-239, possess the ability to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, which can lead to the release of significant amounts of energy. The primary concern in jänniteriskin is the accidental initiation of an uncontrolled chain reaction, which could result in a criticality accident. Such an event can release harmful radiation and potentially cause severe damage.
The management of jänniteriskin involves strict protocols and safety measures throughout the lifecycle of fissile materials.
The disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste also presents challenges related to jänniteriskin.
