Difference between Critical mass and Uranium-238

Critical mass vs. Uranium-238

A critical mass is the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction. Uranium-238 (238U or U-238) is the most common isotope of uranium found in nature, with a relative abundance of 99%.

Similarities between Critical mass and Uranium-238

Critical mass and Uranium-238 have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Critical mass, Doppler broadening, Neutron, Neutron capture, Nuclear weapon, Nuclear weapon design, Uranium-235.
