A powerful, open-source software package named OpenMC has emerged as a cornerstone in the global effort to develop the next ...
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 ...
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 ...
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.
Construction on a revolutionary new kind of nuclear power plant is underway in Kansas. According to KCUR, an NPR affiliate, ...
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 ...
