Fission product — Fission products are the atomic fragments left after a large nucleus fissions. Typically, a large nucleus like Uranium fissions by splitting into two smaller nuclei, along with a few neutrons and a large release of energy in the form of heat… … Wikipedia
Fission products (by element) — On this page, a discussion of each of the main elements in the fission product mixture from the nuclear fission of an actinide such as uranium or plutonium is set out by element. Krypton 83 86 Krypton 85 is formed by the fission process witha… … Wikipedia
Fission (biology) — Binary fission in a prokaryote (e.g., a bacterium) In biology, fission is the subdivision of a cell (or body, population, or species) into two or more parts and the regeneration of those parts into separate cells (bodies, populations, or species) … Wikipedia
nuclear fission — fission (def. 2). [1885 90] * * * Division of a heavy atomic nucleus into two fragments of roughly equal mass, accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy, the binding energy of the subatomic particles. The energy released in the… … Universalium

Nuclear fusion-fission hybrid — Hybrid nuclear fusion fission (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s … Wikipedia
High level waste — (HLW) is a type of nuclear waste that arises from the use of uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor and nuclear weapons processing. It contains the fission products and transuranic elements generated in the reactor core. HLW accounts for over 95% of… … Wikipedia
