Meitner's work in elucidating the process of nuclear fission in 1938 is well accepted by her fellow physicists — but Otto Hahn, who won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry «for his discovery of the fission of heavy nuclei,» barely acknowledged her contribution.

Together, the new experimental and theoretical studies will give us a much better understanding of nuclear fission, which can help improve the performance and safety of nuclear reactors.

By far the most rigorously researched of the Tintin stories, it features nuclear fission, the effects of gravitation in space and why meteorites make lunar craters, as well as side references in Professor Calculus's log book to the «constant of solar radiation» and the «limits of the solar spectrum in the ultraviolet».

And that means there may be two direct paths for radioactive particle byproducts of nuclear fission, such as cesium 137 and iodine 131, to escape and spread radiation — cracks in containment as well as the spent fuel pools now open to the air.

Today's nuclear reactors do dramatically better by splitting uranium atoms through fission, but they still fail to extract more than 0.08 percent of their energy.
