Nuclear fission and electrical energy Electrical energy currently produced by nuclear reactors is derived from the...

Nuclear fission and electrical energy Electrical energy currently produced by nuclear reactors is derived from the decay of 235 92U, through a process known as nuclear fission, whereby a slow-moving neutron is captured by the 235 92U nucleus, creating 236 92U. The uranium nucleus 236 92U is very unstable, and it will immediately decay into two lighter elements and release neutrons. Some of the neutrons will go on to destabilize other nuclei, creating a chain reaction. During fission reactions the...
