Products of uranium-235 fission

When I read, it’s always one thing leading to another. Someone tipped me off about a piece in Science about CTBT compliance monitoring efforts, and I ended up making this incredibly ghastly but satisfying mindmap of the product yield of uranium-235 fission by thermal neutrons. When August 29, the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, comes along and you want to make something for whatever, you could start with this.

About Me

I’m a science editor and writer in India, interested in high-energy and condensed-matter physics, research misconduct, pseudoscience, science’s relationship with society, epic fantasy, open source/access/knowledge systems, H.R. Giger’s art, Goundamani’s comedy, Factorio, and most things that require a lot of time to get the hang of.
