AI Thread Summary
To estimate the initial quantities of fission products from a 50% fission yield of 1g of U-235, it's noted that over 200 fission products can be generated. While specific tools for this estimation were requested, a relevant website containing useful information is currently inaccessible. An article on Wikipedia about fission products is suggested as a starting point for further research. Additionally, the external links provided in the Wikipedia article may lead to more detailed resources. Accessing these sources could aid in obtaining the desired estimations.

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 :

Thanks a lot for your time and attention.

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
