238U accelerated alpha-decayalpha-activitygold nanoparticlesLaser-induced accelerated alpha-decay of U nuclei under laser exposure of Au nanoparticles in aqueous solutions of uranium salt has been experimentally studied. It is demonstrated that the decrease in the alpha-activity depends strongly on the ...
Uranium-233 undergoes alpha decay with a half-life of 160,000 years and, like 235U, is fissile.[10] It can be bred from thorium-232 via neutron bombardment, usually in a nuclear reactor; this process is known as the thorium fuel cycle. Owing to the fissility of 233U and the greater...
Natural uranium consists of three major isotopes: uranium-238 (99.28% natural abundance), uranium-235 (0.71%), and uranium-234 (0.0054%). All three are radioactive, emitting alpha rays. Uranium-238 is the most stable isotope, with a half-life of 4.468 × 109 years (close to the age of...

[Science Shack] and uses radioactive decay to generate truly random numbers, as opposed to the pseudorandom number generators baked into most microcontrollers. The design is based on[AlphaPhoenix]’s muon-powered RNG, but with a significant twist: rather than depending on background radiation, [...
Enriched uranium is uranium that has a higher concentration of the isotope U-235 compared to natural uranium, obtained through the process of enrichment. It is used in various industrial and military applications. AI generated definition based on: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2022 ...
Alpha decay: A nucleus ejects two protons and two neutrons bound together, known as an alpha particle. Beta decay: A neutron becomes a proton, an electron and an antineutrino. The ejected electron is abeta particle. Spontaneous fission: A nucleus splits into two pieces. In the process, it...
