What are the most common fission products of uranium 238?
1 Answer
U-238 is not able to undergo a chain reaction like U-235, which is used in nuclear power plants.
But, what is interesting about U-238 is that after 2 beta decays it becomes plutonium-239, which can undergo fission and be used in nuclear weapons.
Here is a visual for the decay of U-238.
I hope this helps.
