A general overview of nuclear fission is presented. Fission is described based the shell model, reaction energetics, and mechanisms within the nucleus. Spontaneous fission and fissioning isomers are presented. Fission product distributions are discussed, including role of energy and fissioning isotope. The total kinetic energy, mass distribution, and charge distribution during fission are presented. Delayed neutrons from fission and their role in reactors are given. Proton induced fission is introduced.

I just got done with your latest podcast. After seeing how much energy is released, I am in favor of using nuclear fission more in order to generate electricity.

ReplyDeletethanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteFinish the lecture and I agree that more time should be invested with fission to generate electricity
