Uranium-235 (235 U or U-235) is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium. Unlike the predominant isotope uranium-238, it is fissile, i.e., it can sustain a nuclear chain reaction. It is the only fissile isotope that exists in nature as a primordial nuclide. Uranium-235 has a half-life of 703.8 million years.
The phase III study is the adaptive, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo control study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the Nanocovax vaccine against COVID-19 in volunteer subjects 18 years of age and older. [17]
Infection rates dropped and stabilised throughout 2022 and 2023, leading to the end of COVID-19's classification as a severe transmissible disease in June 2023. [22] Although the pandemic has heavily disrupted the country's economy, [23] Vietnam's GDP growth rate has remained one of the highest in Asia-Pacific, at 2.91% in 2020. Due to the more ...
Uranium-235 was the first isotope that was found to be fissile. Other naturally occurring isotopes are fissionable, but not fissile. [citation needed] On bombardment with slow neutrons, uranium-235 most of the time splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing nuclear binding energy and more neutrons.
Jemima operated by remotely lifting one stack of enriched uranium-235 disks up towards another, fixed, stack. On 18 April 1952, due to a miscalculation, Jemima was assembled with too many disks; this caused an excursion of 1.5 x 10 16 fissions—an automatic scram —but no damage.
The Việt Á scandal was a bribery and corruption scandal that arose during the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam. In 2020 and 2021, Việt Á Technology Corporation [ vi ] bribed Vietnamese government officials to sell COVID-19 RT-PCR tests , at a heavy mark-up to provincial health departments and hospitals.

Thong Tin Chinh Phu (Governmental Information), the government's official Facebook page, provides nearly hourly updates on the country's pandemic situation. Zalo, a ...
In May 2020, Vietnam declared that their COVID-19 vaccine was developed after scientists successfully generated the novel coronavirus antigen in the lab. The vaccine has been developed by collaborating scientists at VABIOTECH in Hanoi and the Bristol University , it will be tested further in animals and evaluated for safety and effectiveness ...
