An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear ...

Nuclear fission—when the nucleus of an atom ... starting from the capture of the incident neutron and formation of the compound nucleus, until all fission fragments have been emitted.

Most new nuclear fission reactors being built today are of the light water reactor (LWR) type, which use water for neutron moderation into thermal neutrons as well as neutron capture. While ...

The NGATLAS contains neutron capture cross sections in the range 10-5eV - 20MeV ... available upon request from the IAEA Nuclear Data Section.
