What gases are made from nuclear fission?
The primary gases produced from nuclear fission are xenon and krypton. These noble gases are formed as byproducts of the nuclear fission process in nuclear reactors. They contribute to the overall radioactive inventory generated during nuclear power production.
Is Krypton one inert gas that is radioactive?
No, krypton is normally not radioactive. Almost 60% of krypton is composed of krypton-84.
What products are created during fission?
During fission, products created include smaller fission fragments (such as xenon and krypton), neutrons, and energy in the form of gamma rays. These fission fragments are highly radioactive and give rise to nuclear waste.
Is Krypton-85 natural or synthetic?
Krypton-85 is formed naturally via the action of cosmic rays on stable Kryption-84, but nowadays most is produced artificially as a byproduct of nuclear fission of uranium-235, but even then only 3 in a thousand fission products are Krypton.
What is a toxic inert gas that is a product of some nuclear reactions?
Krypton-85 is a toxic inert gas that is a product of some nuclear reactions, especially nuclear fission. It is radioactive and can be a hazard to health if inhaled in large quantities.

Is krypton man made?
Krypton is an element, and all elements are the result of nuclear fission, nuclear fusion or radioactive decay. Krypton is one of the byproducts of the nuclear fission of Uranium and Plutonium, either from atomic bombs or nuclear reactors. Since Krypton is not one of the results of a natural radioactive decay chain, the only other possible source of Krypton is from nuclear fusion, and the only source of fusion powerful enough to produce it would be a supernova.

Can Uranium 235 be split by Krypton?
The fission of uranium-235 release krypton and barium (and other isotopes) as fission products.I don't know if the fusion of uranium and krypton is possible in laboratory.
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
What are the name of fission fragements in a nuclear reactor?
Fission products, in the case of uranium, krypton 92 and barium 141.
Does fission or fussion produce radioactive by-products?
The daughter atoms from nuclear fission are nearly always radioactive and nearly always have very short half lives decaying through chains of atoms of short half lives. There is a reason for this. We do not know exactly what the daughter atoms from the fission of a given atom will be, but we do know they will contain all the protons of the parent. The number of neutrons is also preserved, though a few unbound neutrons are usually emitted from the fission. Since atoms with higher atomic numbers can have a greater proportion of protons to neutrons, the daughters usually have far too many neutrons to be stable, and will usually undergo negative beta decay. For example, the fission of 235U might look like this: 92235U --> 3692Kr + 56141Ba + 2n The most massive stable isotope of krypton is 86Kr, so our daughter krypton atom has six too many neutrons to be stable. The decay chain of the 92Kr, given as isotopes and half lives, is as follows, with all decays by negative beta decay: 92Kr 1.8 seconds 92Rb 4.5 seconds 92Sr 2.71 hours 92Y 3.54 hours 92Zr stable The most massive stable isotope of barium is 138Ba, so our daughter has three too many neutrons to be stable. The decay chain of the 141Ba similar to the above is as follows, again all by negative beta decay: 141Ba 18.27 minutes 141La 3.92 hours 141Ce 32.5 days 141Pr stable Most of the daughter decay chains do not produce stable isotopes nearly as quickly as the above, with many having products with half lives of decades to millennia. By comparison, our parent atom, 235U, had a half life of 703,800,000 years.

Is there any other way for producing krypton and barium except for the nuclear fission?
Yes, krypton can also be produced through the fractional distillation of liquid air, where it is separated from other gases. Barium can be produced through a chemical reaction between barium oxide and aluminum, resulting in the formation of barium.
How become uranium to krypton and barium?
Uranium does not naturally turn into krypton and barium. These elements are created through nuclear reactions, typically in a nuclear reactor or during nuclear fission processes. During these reactions, uranium atoms can split into smaller atoms like krypton and barium, releasing energy in the process.
