Chart of Nuclides introduction

Introduces the interactive cart of nuclides from the Brookhaven National Laboratory: www.nndc.bnl.gov/chart/. Shows how the chart is constructed, that it displays all known isotopes of each element, and it can be color coded to display decay half-lives. This video is a prelude to discussing the nuclear physics of the problems at the Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan, which appears in the next video. Recorded by Shaun Dychko and produced by the University of British Columbia Physics and Astronomy Department. Visit c21.phas.ubc.ca/article/why-ca... for more information.

"Yeah, I like polonium and radon. How could you tell?"

[@markadams6174]

Excellent explanation - he even sounds like Carl Sagan :-)

Yes, the fission threshold for uranium 238 is about 1 MeV. There is no fission threshold for uranium 235; thermal (0.025 eV) or even slower neutrons will split a uranium 235 nucleus.

very stable presentation . something Lead me here.

terrible

Better check your C14.

[@MrJonnyPepper]

hmmmmm very interesting

@outreachc21 I have read the same thing.
