Difference between Neutron temperature and Nuclear fission

Neutron temperature vs. Nuclear fission

The neutron detection temperature, also called the neutron energy, indicates a free neutron's kinetic energy, usually given in electron volts. In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or a radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts (lighter nuclei).

Similarities between Neutron temperature and Nuclear fission

Neutron temperature and Nuclear fission have 25 things in common (in Unionpedia): Actinide, Atomic nucleus, Breeder reactor, Chemical element, Deuterium, Electronvolt, Enriched uranium, Fast-neutron reactor, Fissile material, Graphite, Heavy water, Isotope, Kinetic energy, Mode (statistics), Neutron, Neutron moderator, Neutron temperature, Nuclear cross section, Nuclear reaction, Nuclear reactor, Plutonium-239, Spontaneous fission, Thorium fuel cycle, Tritium, Uranium-235.

Actinide

The actinide or actinoid (IUPAC nomenclature) series encompasses the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103, actinium through lawrencium.

Fast-neutron reactor

A fast-neutron reactor or simply a fast reactor is a category of nuclear reactor in which the fission chain reaction is sustained by fast neutrons, as opposed to thermal neutrons used in thermal-neutron reactors.

Heavy water

Heavy water (deuterium oxide) is a form of water that contains a larger than normal amount of the hydrogen isotope deuterium (or D, also known as heavy hydrogen), rather than the common hydrogen-1 isotope (or H, also called protium) that makes up most of the hydrogen in normal water.

Nuclear reaction

In nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry, a nuclear reaction is semantically considered to be the process in which two nuclei, or else a nucleus of an atom and a subatomic particle (such as a proton, neutron, or high energy electron) from outside the atom, collide to produce one or more nuclides that are different from the nuclide(s) that began the process.
