I'll list some of the more important products from nuclear fission and put them into three categories.
Neutrons - they have a short half-life so they don't contaminate the environment, and they...
Fission products, that is lighter elements than the uranium or plutonium fuel, free neutrons, and gamma radiation. The net energy effect is a release of 200 Mev per fission.(Approx 3.2 x 10-11 Joules)
The waste products of fusion are mostly made up of radiologically inert isotopes of Helium. There are some concerns about waste, however. One is that some amount of radioactive tritium is very likely...
The daughter atoms from nuclear fission are nearly always radioactive and nearly always have very short half lives decaying through chains of atoms of short half lives. There is a reason for this.We...
