Graduate Why Does Fission of U235 Release More Energy Than Calculated?
Thankyou So why the MeV different then? 173 produced to upwards of 200?- bphiz

Graduate Why Does Fission of U235 Release More Energy Than Calculated?
Hi all I am struggling with the fission of U235 into Barium 144 and Krypton 89. U= 235.044u +(1.0087 mass of neutron)=236.053 Ba=(143.923) + (Kr=88.917) +3(1.0087u) This leaves 0.186u missing on the products side. If this is converted to MeV I gain the value, 173MeV. This agrees with...- bphiz
