    Nükleer fisyon
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 1987) Dinçer, Salih; Mühendislik Fakültesi
    Fission reaction is a special type of a nuclear reaction in which a large nucleus split into two medium-mass nuclear fragments and additional two are three neutrons, but also a large amount of energy is emitted. A special type of fission in which a heavy nucleus such as U2 3 5 absorbs a slow neutron and breaks into two equal-size fragments in each such fission 200 Me V of energy is released. In a nuclear reactor the number of fissions per unit time is controlled and the liberated nuclear energy is used to make steam to drive turbines and generate electrical power. If the reaction is uncontrolled the number of fissions will increase geometrically, resulting in all the energy of the source being released over a short time interval, producing a nuclear bomb. In this article the theory of the fission reaction mentioned above is described.
