A subsequent fission fragment occasionally undergoes a stage of radioactive decay that yields an additional neutron, called a " delayed " neutron.
12.
At the same time, the unwanted energy from the fission fragments is removed by a solitary cooling channel with lithium or other liquid metal.
13.
At the same time, the unwanted energy from the fission fragments is removed by a solidary cooling channel with lithium or other liquid metal.
14.
The reactor chamber contains a high surface area nuclear fuel to both facilitate direct emission of fission fragments and assist in cooling the fuel.
15.
Not all neutrons are emitted as a direct product of fission; some are instead due to the radioactive decay of some of the fission fragments.
16.
:: : : : Nuclear waste is much more radioactive because the fission process generates fission fragments ( light, unstable nuclei ) that are highly radioactive.
17.
The spontaneous fission of uranium-238 and uranium-235 does leave trails of damage in the crystal structure of uranium-containing minerals when the fission fragments recoil through them.
18.
:: : The dangerous radionuclides are generally the fission fragments rather than the uranium itself . talk ) 00 : 05, 16 February 2012 ( UTC)

All you can do is wait for the various fission fragments and such to decay to a more manageable level . talk ) 15 : 41, 16 March 2011 ( UTC)

Additional electrical conductivity enhancement might be needed from thermal ionization of suitable seed materials, and from non-equilibrium ionization by fission fragments and other ionizing radiation produced by the fissioning process ."
