CHEM 418 Nuclear Chemistry, Winter 2019: Lecture 7 Fission

A general overview of nuclear fission is presented.  The probability of fission is described based on developed models including the liquid drop model and shell corrections.  Discussion on spontaneous fission and fissioning isomers is given.  The transition nucleus and fission product distributions are discussed.  The total kinetic energy, mass distribution, and charge distribution during fission are presented. Changes in fission product distribution with parent properties are introduced. Delayed neutrons from fission and their role in reactors are given. Proton induced fission is introduced. The lecture time is 41 minutes.
The lecture is assigned on Monday 28 January 2019 and due Friday 1 February 2019.  When you have completed the lecture please respond to Lecture 7 PDF quiz.
