Fission products are the residues of Sketch of induced nuclear fission, a neutron (n) strikes a uranium nucleus which splits into daughter products, and releases more neutrons to continue the process, and energy in the form of gamma and other radiation In physics, fission is a nuclear process, meaning it occurs in the nucleus of an... fission processes.

In a Nuclear power station at Leibstadt, Switzerland. The nuclear reactor is inside the dome-shaped containment building. A nuclear reactor is a device in which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate (as opposed to a nuclear explosion, where the chain reaction occurs in a split... nuclear reactor, the buildup of fission products in the fuel eventually leads to loss of efficiency, and in some cases to instability. They contribute most of the short and medium term radioactivity of high-level A Russian fissile material storage facility Radioactive waste is waste material containing radioactive chemical elements which does not have a practical purpose. It is often the product of a nuclear process, such as nuclear fission. Waste can also be generated from the processing of fuel for nuclear reactors or nuclear... nuclear waste produced from spent reactor fuel. They also appear to some extent in the primary coolant.
