2. Nuclear data - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_data

   Nuclear data represents measured (or evaluated) probabilities of various physical interactions involving the nuclei of atoms. It is used to understand the nature of such interactions by providing the fundamental input to many models and simulations, such as fission and fusion reactor calculations, shielding and radiation protection calculations, criticality safety, nuclear weapons, nuclear ...

3. Nuclear fission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fission

   For heavy nuclides, it is an exothermic reaction which can release large amounts of energy both as electromagnetic radiation and as kinetic energy of the fragments (heating the bulk material where fission takes place). Like nuclear fusion, for fission to produce energy, the total binding energy of the resulting elements must be greater than ...

4. Mitochondrial fusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_fusion

   The significance of mitochondrial fission and fusion is distinct for nonproliferating neurons, which are unable to survive without mitochondrial fission. Such nonproliferating neurons cause two human diseases known as dominant optic atrophy and Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 2A, which are both caused by fusion defects.

8. Portal:Nuclear technology/Intro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Nuclear_technology/...

   A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb), producing a nuclear explosion. Both bomb types release large quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. (Full article...

9. Nuclear fusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

   Nuclear fusion–fission hybrid (hybrid nuclear power) is a proposed means of generating power by use of a combination of nuclear fusion and fission processes. The concept dates to the 1950s, and was briefly advocated by Hans Bethe during the 1970s, but largely remained unexplored until a revival of interest in 2009, due to the delays in the ...
