  • Great job!

  • you have u-235 .u-235 has bigger chance to fission with thermal neutrons...because the reaction with accelerated neutron has usually result γ radiation... I think it would be better if you had a u-238

see all

  • Naturally occurring uranium exists in the form of two isotopes U-235 and U-238. The naturally occurring uranium contains 99.3% of U-238 and 0.7% of U-235. Out of these two isotopes only U-235 is readily fissionable i.e., it is very unstable. Whereas U-238 is not fissionable. It absorbs the neutrons and forms Pu-239 which is readily fissionable. All heavy atoms are highly unstable whereas all light nuclei are stable

  • nice

  • okay!

  • This can knock out peoples cells. And atoms cannot make explosions. They only frictionized and spread. If there were exploding atoms there would be something smaller than atoms, you see?

  • Fission isn't a case of a neutron smashing into a U atom and breaking it apart. What happens is a neutron collides with a U-235 nucleus at a speed just slow enough that it combines and becomes U-236. U-236 is so inherently unstable that it breaks apart in a few fractions of a second.

  • *****

    Go nucleus go!

    lol looks amazing

  • I Atom in to 1,000 atoms!

    One Gallon Of Water And A Rock Last A Year!

  • WOAH ITS LIKE FIREWORKS ON CRACK!

  • why does u-235 fission and not u-238?
