New model considers an extra factor to improve our prediction of nuclear fission

(Tokyo Institute of Technology) A research group based in a number of countries (Japan, Malaysia,Ukraine, and Germany), led by Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech), have proposedan improved model for predicting the generation of thermal energy from nuclear fissionprocesses, by focusing on Uranium-236. This model can help improve efficiency in nuclearpower generation.
