Fission products tend to be beta emitters, emitting fast-moving electrons to conserve electric charge, as excess neutrons convert to protons in the fission-product atoms.

See Fission products ( by element ) for a description of fission products sorted by element.

Fission products were released into the reactor coolant.

Fission products are as deadly as neutron-activated cobalt.

Fission of the nuclear fuel in any reactor produces neutron-absorbing fission products, and because of this it is necessary to reprocess the fuel and breeder blanket from a breeder reactor if one is to fully utilise its ability to breed more fuel than it consumes.

Nothing goes to waste: Fission products and gamma rays produced by nuclear reactions in the reactor core are also used by specialised instruments, which forms an important part of the instrument suite.

See Fission products ( by element ).

( Fission products do not emit alpha particles.

Fission products have half-lives of 90 years ( Samarium-151 ) or less, except for seven long-lived fission products with half-lives of 211, 100 years ( Technetium-99 ) and more.

Fission products emit beta radiation, while actinides primarily emit alpha radiation.

Fission products are produced in nuclear weapon explosions, with the amount depending on the type of weapon.

Fission products are the largest amount of radioactivity for the first several hundred years, while actinides are dominant roughly 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > to 10 < sup > 5 </ sup > years after fuel use.

Fission occurs in the nuclear fuel, and the fission products are primarily retained within the fuel close to where they are produced.

Fission products can be replaced by adding natural or even depleted uranium with no further enrichment required.

Fission neutrons of californium-252 have an energy range of 0 to 13 MeV with a mean value of 2. 3 MeV and a most probable value of 1 MeV.

Fission of uranium and thorium in nuclear power plants will be available for a long time due to the vast supply of the element on earth, though the full potential of this source can only be realised through breeder reactors, which are not yet used commercially.

Pages by J. P. Morgan can also be read on the Fission Chicken website.

Fission is a form of nuclear transmutation because the resulting fragments are not the same element as the original atom.

Starting in 1987, Fission Chicken appeared in numerous stories published in the comic book Critters ( Fantagraphics Books ), as well as his own series from the same publisher.

Fission based thermal rocket concepts produce lower exhaust velocities than the electric and plasma concepts described below, and are less suitable except for applications requiring high thrust-to-weight ratio, as in planetary escape.

Fission chain reactions occur because of interactions between neutrons and fissile isotopes ( such as < sup > 235 </ sup > U ).

Fission can be self-sustaining because it produces more neutrons of the speed required to cause new fissions.

Fission is thus necessary to start fusion, helps to sustain fusion, and captures and multiplies the energy released in fusion neutrons.

Fission and absorption cross sections are low for both Pu239 and U238 at high ( fast ) energies, which means that fast neutrons are likelier to pass through fuel without interacting than thermal neutrons ; thus, more fissile material is needed.

In subsequent episodes, Paradigm began to convince the residents of Fission City that the Street Sharks ( as they became known ) were vicious, deadly killers who were mutated by their father, Dr. Bolton.

Fission tracks in apatite are commonly used to determine the thermal history of orogenic ( mountain ) belts and of sediments in sedimentary basins.

Fission yeast governs mitosis by mechanisms that are similar to those in multicellular animals.

Fission events are thus normally ( indirect ) sources of beta radiation and antineutrinos, even though these particles are not produced directly in the fission event itself.

</ LI > < LI > Fission primary emits X-rays which are scattered along the inside of the casing, irradiating the polystyrene foam.

Fission as encountered in the modern world is usually a deliberately-produced manmade nuclear reaction induced by a neutron.

Fission of the vesicle from the plasma membrane is then mediated by GTPase dynamin II which is localized at the neck of the budding vesicle.

Fission yeast switches mating type by a replication-coupled recombination event, which takes place during S phase of the cell cycle.

Fission and fusion is not apparently used by Andalites extensively, since it has been stated that they use it in children's toys.

Johansson has released several instrumental solo records such as Fjäderlösa Tvåfotingar, Ten Seasons ( a piano solo album improvised in the Mark Kostabi gallery, New York ), Heavy Machinery ( with Anders and Allan Holdsworth ) and Fission ( with Anders, Shawn Lane and Mike Stern ) and many collaborations with other artists, metal compilations and Berends Brothers ' band Mastermind.
