A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

Nuclear power has a lot of potential, but many fear the dangers of nuclear meltdowns. Fortunately, some new reactors might ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

Fission gas release constitutes a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear fuel behaviour during reactor operation. It involves the generation and migration of gaseous fission products—primarily xenon and ...

Researchers have employed Bayesian neural network approaches to evaluate the distributions of independent and cumulative ...

Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have ...
