1Fission products (by element) — On this page, a discussion of each of the main elements in the fission product mixture from the nuclear fission of an actinide such as uranium or plutonium is set out by element. Krypton 83 86 Krypton 85 is formed by the fission process witha… …
2nuclear fission — fission (def. 2). [1885 90] * * * Division of a heavy atomic nucleus into two fragments of roughly equal mass, accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy, the binding energy of the subatomic particles. The energy released in the… …

6Magnox — Schematic diagram of a Magnox nuclear reactor showing gas flow. Note that the heat exchanger is outside the concrete radiation shielding. This represents an early Magnox design with a cylindrical, steel, pressure vessel. For other uses of the… …
7Magnox (alloy) — Magnox is an alloy mainly of magnesium with small amounts of aluminium and other metals used in cladding unenriched uranium metal fuel with a non oxidising covering to contain fission products in nuclear reactors. Magnox is short for Magnesium… …

9nuclear reactor — Physics. reactor (def. 4). Also called nuclear pile. [1940 45] * * * Device that can initiate and control a self sustaining series of nuclear fission reactions. Neutrons released in one fission reaction may strike other heavy nuclei, causing them …
10Nuclear fuel cycle — The nuclear fuel cycle, also called nuclear fuel chain, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages. It consists of steps in the front end, which are the preparation of the fuel, steps in the service period in which… …
