Can I scream!?
Compare where you are to where you want to be, and you’ll get nowhere
This is no broken heart,
No familiar scars,
This territory goes uncharted.
Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I don’t breathe.
Now, I’ve too much to hold, everybody has to get their hands on gold…
And I want uncharted.
I’m going down,
Follow if you want,
I won’t just hang around,
I’m already out of foolproof ideas, so don’t ask me how
To get started, it’s all uncharted…
Each day, countin’ up the minutes, till I get alone, ‘cause I can’t stay
In the middle of it all, it’s nobody’s fault, but I’m
So low, never knew how much I didn’t know,
Oh, everything is uncharted.
I know I’m getting nowhere, when I only sit and stare like…
I’m going down,
Follow if you want, I won’t just hang around,
I’m already out of foolproof ideas, so don’t ask me how
To get started, it’s all uncharted.
Jump start my kaleidoscope heart,
Love to watch the colors fade,
They may not make sense,
But they sure as hell made me.
I won’t go as a passenger, no
Waiting for the road to be laid
Though I may be going down,
I’m taking flame over burning out
Compare where you are to where you want to be, and you’ll get nowhere
I’m going down,
Follow if you want, I won’t just hang around,
Like you’ll show me where to go,
I’m already out, foolproof idea, so don’t ask me how
To get started, it’s all uncharted…
Uranium 235 Fission Reaction
Let’s consider a nuclear reaction with uranium-235 as the fuel. Inside the fuel rods, a neutron with the appropriate energy collides with a uranium-235 atom and is incorporated into this atom’s nucleus. The uranium atom now has an extra neutron and becomes uranium-236. However, uranium-236 is unstable and immediately decays to two smaller atoms—the fission products. Many different fission products are made, such as cesium-133, iodine-135, etc. Wikipedia has a nice entry explaining the fission product yield for uranium-235.
Breaking atomic bonds also releases energy in the form of heat. The purpose of a nuclear power plant is to capture this heat and turn it into electricity. This is analogous to a fossil fuel power plant, where chemical bonds are broken to release heat.
When the uranium-236 decays, extra neutrons (and some other things) are also released. These are called prompt neutrons because they come directly from the fission reaction. (They’re produced promptly.) These neutrons collide with more uranium-235 and the reaction continues. Fission products can also sit around for a while and then decay to produce neutrons, and these are called delayed neutrons. If neutrons are being produced, the fission reaction will continue, and the rate of reaction will be a function of the number of neutrons being produced.
Do you ever have moments when you feel like you’re seconds from losing it?!
I am a land mine right now, do not come near.
Please.
