Among full papers are actinide targets for the synthesis of superheavy nuclei: current priorities and future opportunities, the spontaneous fission of superheavy nuclei, odd features of some odd-odd prolate spheroidal nuclei, a microscopic theory of fission, and a free-neutron target for nuclear reaction studies.
The mutual effects between spontaneous fission neutrons and gamma rays from [sup.252]Cf source and the uranium component are chiefly in three possible processes: penetration, scattering, and induced fission.
This dating method is based on radiation damage trails ("fission tracks") within apatite grains produced continuously during geological time by spontaneous fission of single atoms of [sup.238]U.
The plant operator said it has judged that spontaneous fission, which it says occurs at a constant rate, has generated xenon-133 and xenon-135 at its crisis-hit No.
2 reactor at the plant was caused by spontaneous fission that occurs in any
Such spontaneous fission releases stray neutrons; when one of those neutrons hits a uranium atom, it initiates another fission into lighter elements, releasing more neutrons.
These products include neutrons that may be emitted over periods ranging from nanoseconds to many seconds, whether as a result of spontaneous fission or of fission induced by gamma rays or neutrons, and gamma rays emitted within nanoseconds of induced fission.
In such materials [sup.238]U atoms undergo infrequent spontaneous fission events into two less massive nuclides that generally have atomic numbers (Z) between those of zinc (Z = 30) and terbium (Z = 65) accompanied by a few light particles.
Ramayya of Vanderbilt University in Nashville and his collaborators have discovered that, in addition to normal spontaneous fission, the isotope californium-252 occasionally splits in two in such a way that no neutrons are released.
