Nuclear scientist Interview Question:

Explain me what Are The Particles Used In Nuclear Fission?

Submitted by: Muhammad

High energy alpha particles, protons, deuterons, X-rays as well as neutrons can be used for the fission process. However neutrons are chosen because neutrons are electrically neutral in nature and thus they do not require high kinetic energy to overcome electrical repulsion from the positively charged nuclei and can participate in fission reaction.
