Reply to comment by RobusEtCeleritas in If nuclear fission in U-235 causes the atom to be split into 2 smaller atoms (such as Kr-92 and Ba-141) then how is it that U-236 is produced as waste since the U-235 was just split into smaller peices? by Ian98766
Yes, and the probability of each is related to the energy of the inbound neutron, right?
