The team studied the nuclear fusion reaction between uranium ions and a target of natural nickel: [90] [91] 238 92 U + nat 28 Ni → 296,298,299,300,302 120 Ubn * → fission. The results indicated that nuclei of unbinilium were produced at high (≈70 MeV) excitation energy which underwent fission with measurable half-lives just over 10 −18 s.
Jens Volker Kratz predicted the actual maximum cross section for producing unbinilium by any of the four reactions 238 U+ 64 Ni, 244 Pu+ 58 Fe, 248 Cm+ 54 Cr, or 249 Cf+ 50 Ti to be around 0.1 fb; [21] in comparison, the world record for the smallest cross section of a successful reaction was 30 fb for the reaction 209 Bi(70 Zn,n) 278 Nh, [11 ...
The first successful man-made fusion device was the boosted fission weapon tested in 1951 in the Greenhouse Item test. The first true fusion weapon was 1952's Ivy Mike, and the first practical example was 1954's Castle Bravo. In these devices, the energy released by a fission explosion compresses and heats the fuel, starting a fusion reaction.
The fusion prototype device is known as Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror or WHAM. WHAM looks like a long tube and has two magnets coiled around it. With the magnets in place, it got running on ...
In general. Usually parameters reproduce the value, and the template adds the SI unit or additional standard text. While the topic is technical, we can strive to make the result readable text, and even verbose.
Muon-catalyzed fusion (abbreviated as μCF or MCF) is a process allowing nuclear fusion to take place at temperatures significantly lower than the temperatures required for thermonuclear fusion, even at room temperature or lower. It is one of the few known ways of catalyzing nuclear fusion reactions.
The tritium breeding blanket (also known as a fusion blanket, lithium blanket or simply blanket), is a key part of many proposed fusion reactor designs. It serves several purposes; primarily it is to produce (or "breed") further tritium fuel for the nuclear fusion reaction, which owing to the scarcity of tritium would not be available in sufficient quantities, through the reaction of neutrons ...
