| 1. | Delayed neutrons are associated with the beta decay of the fission products.
|
| 2. | Fission of the nuclear fuel in any reactor produces neutron-absorbing fission products.
|
| 3. | See fission product yield for a comparison with other radioactive fission products.
|
| 4. | The bulk of the fission product elements remained stable in the salt.
|
| 5. | See fission product yield for a comparison with other radioactive fission products.
|
| 6. | One of the important fission products is krypton-90, a radioactive noble gas.
|
| 7. | See fission products and the external links for more details concerning radionuclides.
|
| 8. | The cause of the embrittlement was tellurium-a fission product generated in the fuel.
|
| 9. | Iodine-131 is another important gamma-emitting radionuclide produced as a fission product.
|
| 10. | Pulsed columns then purify the plutonium, removing the troublesome fission products that remain.
