SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on estimating the initial quantities of all fission products resulting from a 50% fission yield of 1 gram of Uranium-235 (U-235). It is established that over 200 fission products can be generated from the fission of U-235. Users are directed to resources such as the Wikipedia article on fission products and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's fission website, although the latter is currently inaccessible. These resources are crucial for anyone seeking detailed information on fission products.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear fission processes
  • Familiarity with Uranium-235 properties
  • Basic knowledge of fission product categorization
  • Access to nuclear physics databases and literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the fission product yield tables for U-235
  • Explore the latest findings on fission products from nuclear research journals
  • Investigate the use of simulation tools for fission product estimation
  • Review the implications of fission products on nuclear waste management
USEFUL FOR

Nuclear physicists, researchers in nuclear engineering, and anyone involved in nuclear waste management or fission product analysis will benefit from this discussion.

I would like to learn the initial quantities of all fission products for a 50% fission (nuclear yield) of 1g of U235.
I roughly understand that that there could be over 200 fission products produced upon nuclear fission of U235. Is there any tools available for the above estimation ?

Learned from some articles that the following website may contain relevant information i need but it seems to be inaccessible at this moment :
http://ie.lbl.gov/fission.html

Thanks a lot for your time and attention.
