Simulate nuclear chain reaction with the help of this tool. Nuclear Fission enable you to start a chain reaction, or introduce non-radioactive isotopes to prevent one. Control energy production in a nuclear reactor.

Start a chain reaction, or introduce non-radioactive isotopes to prevent one. Control energy production in a nuclear reactor. (Previously part of the Nuclear Physics simulation - now there are separate Alpha Decay and Nuclear Fission sims.)

Sample Learning Goals
1. Describe how a neutron can give energy to a nucleus and cause it to fission.
2. Explain the byproducts of a fission event.
3. Explain how a chain reaction works, and describe the requirements for a sustained chain reaction large enough to make a bomb.
4. Explain how a nuclear reactor works and how control rods can be used to slow down the reaction.
