What can fission be used to?

Fission gives off heat, neutrons, and fission products. Each of these things has different uses. The heat is the primary product. It is typically used to boil water, the steam being used to power a turbine, which turns a generator to make electricity. Neutrons can be used to turn atoms of one element into atoms of another element. For example, tritium can be manufactured by exposing hydrogen in water to neutrons. The tritium, in turn, has uses ranging from nuclear fusion to tracing flow in ecological systems. Some of the products of fission have their own uses and are easiest obtained from materials that have been in reactor cores. An example is cesium-137, whihc is a fission product, and has uses in medicine and industry.


What is a neutron give it uses?

Neutron is an elementary particle, with a mass of approx. 1 amu; neutron is neutral. Neutrons are components of the atomic nucleus; neutrons contain quarks and gluons. Some applications: - neutron radiography - neutron diffraction - neutrons are involved in many important nuclear reactions as reactants or products - the nuclear fission is a problem of neutrons (nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons) - neutron activation analysis - neutron probes for water - experiments in nuclear physics
