Question

What is fission of U^235…….?

Answer 1

Uranium-235 (235U) is an isotope of uranium making up about 0.72% of natural uranium. Unlike the predominant isotope uranium-238, it is fissile, i.e., it can sustain a fission chain reaction. ... Its (fission) nuclear cross section for slow thermal neutrons is about 584.994 barns.
